Preparation
This brochure contains inspiring initiatives, practices and tools, including the EU projects, that showcase how youth work and non-formal learning can enhance young people’s creativity and innovation, through their experimental nature, participatory approaches, and peer-learning, and how this can help them to find their place in the labour market – and in life. It is the result of peer learning in an expert group which was looking into constructive response to challenges faced by many young people in Europe.
Description of activity
This brochure showcases many concrete examples exchanged throughout this peer learning exercise. They can inspire policy making and help solve problems identified by the experts, when adapted to the national context. They range from programmes stimulating young people’s employability and entrepreneurship. They show how the ability can be developed to reflect on and articulate learning experiences, using the EU Youthpass or international awards. They display methods and approaches that stimulate young people’s creative potential, alongside training modules for youth workers on specific issues or groups, such as young migrants or prison inmates.
