"With the EU economy in full recovery mode it is important to recognise that certain sub-sets of the population have not as of yet fully benefited from the return to growth. There remains a significant number of younger adults commonly referred to as NEETS - neither in education, employment nor training - on the margins of society and economy in all EU Member States. In autumn 2018 the NEET rate was at 12.7% in Lithuania; 16% in Czech Republic; 16.1% in Ireland; 20.9% in Bulgaria; 19.6% in Spain; 17.1% in Poland; 18.5% Croatia (Eurostat).The term NEET gathers a multitude of individuals under its classification. It broadly includes adults between the ages of 20 and 34 years who are on the margins of mainstream society. For most NEETS education has not had the desired impact where essential skills for employment are concerned. They don't have sufficient qualifications for further education and many in their ranks come from disadvantaged backgrounds. For the vast majority of NEETs education and training were not regarded as a priority in their early development years and in many cases their family educational history is one of under-achievement. Despite these educational impairments most of today's NEET population are digital natives and have some level of proficiency in digital and social media. Partners believe that this digital know-how can be the bridge to re-engagement if the right educational intervention is provided.If NEET-IDEA is to successfully re-engage marginalised young adults the proposed intervention must be completely different from the formal educational provision that has failed them previously. Project partners will therefore look to their digital activities and the most popular technology devices - smartphones - and design a training programme that uses inquiry-based and embedded-learning methodologies to develop a wide range of skills and attitudes that are essential for personal growth and personal fulfilment. The project will focus on building the self-confidence and self-esteem within the target group which all indicators show are badly lacking.Today's young digital natives use their smartphones for a wide range of activities. NEET-IDEA will focus on the use of these devices by target group members to produce digital media content which many of them upload and share on a variety of specialist social media platforms. Of particular interest to project partners is the use of vlogging, blogging and photo sharing platforms by digital natives to upload content they have created or to share content created by others. NEET-IDEA partners will build an entire training programme to train the NEET target group to make short films using only their smartphones for producing and editing the content created. The training will be focused on building small media production crews/teams of 4 or 5 individuals and assign different roles in the short-film production, editing and marketing actions required. This will allow partners to address the following skills or attitudes:- research skills will be developed in conceptualising the theme or idea for the short film- literacy will be addressed through the writing of a short script for the film- numeracy will be addressed by the requirement of every team to produce a budget for the film- a wide range of digital skills will be addressed in the production and editing of the films- teamwork skills will be central to the success of the production process- inter-personal skills will be developed through the engagement of others in interviews, etc.- planning skills will be developed by ensuring that all the correct permissions and consents are in place before filming commencesThe partners will encourage learners to make different types of short films like a 5 minute comedy sketch; a documentary; a mockumentary; a short film with a serious theme; etc. NEET-IDEA is primarily a project about developing specific key transversal skills; building self-confidence; taking responsibility; working in a team environment; being respected and respecting others, all key skills for inclusion. As Woody Allen once said ""...everybody wants to be in the movies..."" and the NEET- IDEA project will give young digital natives the opportunity to be part of a film crew in a role that fits their personal preferences or personalities. This is the way to achieve the inclusion and up-skilling of NEETS that partners are proposing."
