"The one year project “How to START UP for Young People”, financed by European Commission within Erasmus Plus projects was devoted to fighting against unemployment among young people, especially from vulnerable groups, poor background and fewer opportunities. The problem of unemployment is a huge issue up to now for young people in some countries of EU and Eastern Partnership. There is no doubt that one project cannot solve such a huge problem as unemployment that young people face today in Europe, but the international team of professional NGOs, leaders, experts and trainers who have designed the project in a special way to train and teach young people entrepreneurship, leadership skills and knowledge how to START UP their own small business or job and be successful. The project involved eight participating countries in total 5 EU countries + 3 Eastern Partnership Countries, where the rate of unemployment is the highest in Europe. Participating countries from EU were: Italy, Portugal, Greece, France, Croatia and from Easter Partnership Countries Armenia, Georgia Ukraine were involved. The Applicant and Coordinating organisation was “Educational and Cultural Bridges NGO"" from Armenia. The project was implemented totally in 8 steps with 3 main implementing stages (2 Capacity Building Activities + 1 Mobility Activity).First stage of the project was Workshop that was implemented in Yerevan, Armenia from March 30 – 7 April, 2019. In total 24 youth leaders, as well as youth workers and decision making bodies of NGOs participated in this workshop.

During 7 full working days, the leaders discussed the problem of unemployment in each participating country; each country-delegation presented a detailed PPT presentation about the problem in their country, participants shared their opinions with each other. Professional experts specialized in entrepreneurship were invited, and they transferred to youth leaders the necessary knowledge and tools in the process of helping young people to START UP. The team had also opportunity to visit several leading START UP organisations in Armenia such as ""Fast Foundation"", "" BANA- Business Angels Network of Armenia"", ""HUB 256"",""TUMO Technological Centre"" and much more.

As media increasingly mediate everything in society, there is a growing emphasis on ensuring that people, and particularly young men and women have media literacy not only to engage with media, but furthermost, to engage with society through media.Young people are “digital natives”, yet they often lack basic awareness and skills that would enable them to be responsible “digital citizens”. Poor socio-economic situation and a lack of perspectives for youth, intertwined with a lack of exposure to cultural diversity create a fruitful environment for the spread of populist messages fueling intolerance. On the other hand, particularly in the Balkans, spreading of fake news gained an economic dimension. In the region, where the overwhelming majority of youth are unemployed yet skilled, many joined the “fake news industry” in pursue of easy money.In line with the goals of the Erasmus+ KA 2 Capacity-Building in the Field of Youth program, “Youth Media Literacy Lab” project will focus on increasing the capacity of young people to critically assess, analyze and interpret media, thus strengthening their resilience to identify and withstand fake news, populist agenda and hate speech. The project will be organized over the period of 7 September 2020 – 7 September 2021, and will target youth workers and young people in the age of 15-29, from Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Lithuania, Italy and Croatia.Through a broad range of interconncted activities, including a desk research, a Training of Trainers, local workshops, a youth exchange, an awareness campaign, preparation of a youth-friendly toolkit, youth-led follow-up activities, a closing conference and a launch of an Alumni Network of Peer Multipliers, the project aims to achieve the following:Strengthen media literacy skills of young people and equip them with specific knowledge and tools how to identify, deconstruct and prevent fake news, populistic messaging and hate speech,Prepare a new cohort of peer educators on media literacy and critical thinking, which will be further supported by the Partnership,Consolidate existing good practices and media literacy tools across the Partnership into a project toolkit, which will be available online to a broader audience,Empower young people to act as agents of positive change in their communities,Strengthen and enhance the network of CSOs working on digital media literacy.In the long-term, the project will foster youth active participation in democratic life by promoting the values of “digital citizenship” and human rights-oriented online behaviour. Furthermore, the project supports young people in becoming agents of positive change and lasting peace through a focus on youth-led peer-to-peer activities and intercultural dialogue. These outcomes will be particularly important for participants from the Balkans, where post-conflict narratives still dominate public discourse, and positive narratives of youth inter-ethnic cooperation remain rare.

New Vision - Albania will implement the project “SafeNet” in cooperation with Club for Youth Empowerment 018 – Serbia, Udruga “Impress” – Croatia, Beyond Borders – Italy, Red Cross Novo Sarajevo – Bosnia and Herzegovina and SPPMD – Macedonia. Through the set of diverse proposed activities, the project will tackle the problem of security and safety of young people. On one hand, the activities will have an educational feature aimed at raising the awareness about safety issues in Europe empowering youth workers from the participating countries with new competences that can be included in their work that includes introduction to “The contribution of youth work to preventing marginalization and violent radicalization - A practical toolbox for youth workers & Recommendations for policy makers”. Another element of the youth workers’ empowerment will be the transfer of the methodology to use art as the channel for education as it easily reaches young people and motivates them to take the active role. On the other, young people will be given an opportunity to directly respond to safety issues and provide opinion on different safety segments – some of the most common: peer violence, cyber bullying, radicalization and extremism as well as abuse of psychoactive substances and alcohol. Young people from 6 countries will provide input for a set of recommendations (document to be produced within this project) to the relevant entities (different Working groups, youth offices, local – self governments and similar) at the local level; the document will also be published and distributed at the European level. Overall participation of youth in the development and implementation of local youth security policy will be strengthenedGeneral objective:To contribute to the development of a security culture of young people and strengthening the cooperation between institutions and civil society in addressing youth security and safety issues in 6 participating countriesSpecific objectives: • To equip 24 youth workers with set of new educational tools in the field of youth safety – theoretical knowledge, example of good practices and creative methods in the work with youth • To activate young people to take active role in the promotion of safe behavior and safety culture • To provide set of recommendations on security and safety issues, created by young people for young people• To raise the awareness about security and safety issues in local communities in participating countries Activities:CBY 1.
