The Aflateen – Social and Financial Education for Engagement, Entrepreneurship and Employment project would like to offer a solution for the lack of financial and entrepreneurship education in Hungary, Serbia and Slovakia, which is identified as one of the roots of high rates of unemployment among young people in the region.As a first step we intend to create and adapt a curriculum for developing the social and financial competences (as the latter cannot be developed without the former) of young people aged 15-18, to be used by youth workers and teachers in their everyday work, and a training material for trainers to train youth workers and teachers to use this curriculum, as the correct approach is essential in this field of competence development and cannot be acquired by downloading the curriculum and start using it. We have very positive experience with similar projects implemented with the same partners for professionals working with younger age groups (kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers), and we believe that it is essential that the professionals (youth workers and teachers) working with the 15-18 age group should also have materials specially designed for the needs of the youngsters, as very similar knowledge have to be presented very differently for the different age groups of young people.Following the development of the materials we will take a step further and start using them by training 5 trainers per country who will be the ambassadors of the new approach, as well as the trainers in the following international training of youth workers and teachers. We will involve 20 youth workers and teachers from 10 NGOs/schools in each country in the pilot training and delivery of the program.We believe that if we would like to have a lasting impact, we need to involve professionals both form the former and non-formal education fields, as concentrating on only one would limit the impact of the program. Moreover we think that the communication and cooperation between the youth field and the former education field is rather poor in all involved countries, and could be developed by creating personal connections between the representatives of the different fields by involving them in pursuing one common cause.After the training the youth workers/teachers will go back to their local communities and start using the curriculum with young people and their parents who are also a target group of the project. They will reach out to more than 600 young people in the three countries. During this phase of the project they will receive on-line mentoring and support.After the pilot training and field testing, we plan to spread the experiences of the program to the wider audience of stakeholders on the national level through the round table discussions organized in each country and on the international level on the final conference where participants from all countries will have the opportunity to present the results of the project.
