YOUCAN

STATUS: Approved and ongoing

YOUCAN (Youth With Migrant Drop-Out Tackling: Capacity Building) is an Erasmus+ KA2 project aiming to contribute to trigger the modernisation and strengthen the response of education, training and youth policy systems, considering the main challenges provided by migrant youth drop-out and social exclusion, building the capacity of the consortium to work at transnational level and with a cross-sectoral approach.

The project foresees the achievement of the following results:

1. open synergies and strengthened cooperation between local organisations/partners active in the field of education, training and youth or other socio-economic sectors, strengthening collaboration between all actors within schools, as well as with families and other external stakeholders;
2. increased allocation of financial resources (other than EU funds) to organise EU/international projects in the field of education, training and youth;
3. increased quality in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and follow-up of EU/international projects and increased capacity and professionalism to work at EU/international level (improved management skills and internationalisation strategies).

ACTIVITIES
In order to achieve its aims, the project foresees the implementation of several activities:

1. 3 Transnational Project Meetings in Turin (Italy), Brussels (Belgium) and Milan (Italy);
2. 6 Organisation-to-Organisation (O2O) Trainings during which a participant will take part in a week’s training in another organisation of the consortium;
3. 6 Local Multiplier Events and 1 Final Multiplier Event in Portugal, Italy, Spain, Greece and Belgium;
4. 1 Learning, Teaching, Training event to train participants in the use of the Toolkit.
