INPLANET, GREECE

The INPLANET Cultural and Sport Association was founded in 2013 by 32 founding members - mostly young people aged 20-30. The number of members and friends who have been involved in various activities of INPLANET during these six years has increased significantly. INPLANET was started by a large group of young people with common interests, many of them involved in various European programs, social activities in various fields. The experience they gained through participation in various programs (some started participating in Youth in Action programs from the age of 16) transferred to the Erasmus + program and at the same time to new members and friends. In addition, the heritage of INPLANET is a large network of youth organizations, and groups that extend to almost all EU countries and non-EU countries. INPLANET participates with youth groups in many youth exchanges and training courses.

NGO Young generation in Action, Bulgaria

In the Young Generation in Action we have gathered two project coordinators, one trainer and psychologist, a social media marketing agent and two volunteers who are actively engaged in the activies, performed by the organization. All of us are considered young experts, since we have been actively joining youth work and projects for the past four years, including youth exchanges, training courses and project management and facilitation.

We have a team of three volunteers who are managing the Young Generation in Action's social media profiles in Facebook, Instagram and Tik-tok with overall 20,000 followers. This gives us the ability to reach young people who are completely unfamiliar with the Erasmus+ program and the opportunities surrounding it. Furthermore, through social media we tend to engage young people in researches, needs analysis, evaluation forms, learning processes and so on. Our plan for the following year is to set up a blog and a youtube channel, both focusing on psychology, development, youth work and Erasmus+.

NGO ZKŠTM, Slovenia 

Institute for Culture, Sport, Tourism and Youth Activities (ZKŠTM) Ravne na Koroškem is the largest public institution in the field of culture, sports, tourism and youth in the town of Ravne and in the Mežica Valley. Institute as such is a very important organization in the municipality because it carries out many public services on which it depends many collectives, organizations, societues or individuals in the area. There is also a department within the Institute called MC Ravne (Institute of youth activities - Ravne Youth Center). In preparing the annual program all youth organizations in area are invited to participate in youth work and also all of the individuals working in the youth field. MC Ravne connects and encourages all youth organizations in the locality and at the same time young people (regardless of gender) to co-create the content of the youth program and proposing project ideas, thus enhancing the autonomy of young people. Young people are actively involved in non-formal learning, training and acquisition activities which leads to gain new competences (workshops, language courses, intercultural dialogue, ...). They are active in the field of volunteering. Programs are being implemented in the fields of social inclusion, innovation and creativity of the youth of both of the sexes. The cultural, sports, tourism and youth departments are inextricably linked within the institution. Interconnecting all spheres of the institution increases the motivation of young people and opens up opportunities for better employment of the youth. Through various projects at local level, we contribute to active leisure time in the place, motivate young people to do activities in various fields, so that they realize that they have the power to co-decide important issues such as equal opportunity of everything (fighting stereotypes, influencing local decision makers and creating job opportunities).

i-Help, Malta

At i-HELP we provide its members with ample training opportunities that will enhance their personal growth as citizens such that they contribute positively to the world around them.

We aim to provide young people coming from rural Maltese villages with all the necessary information regarding various training opportunities under the Erasmus + projects. Young people need easily accessible opportunities to engage in solidarity activities, which could enable them to express their commitment to the benefit of communities while acquiring useful experience, skills and competences for their personal, educational, social, civic and professional development, thereby improving their employability. We assist them in this learning process on how to effectively apply for courses in Malta and abroad by mentoring them to experience new informal/non-formal learning environments and situations that will enhance their potential. We offer support and assistance throughout the whole project lifespan.

We aim to effectively use volunteering as a major factor in helping people to learn. Every year we aim to recruit a group of youths to become volunteers in the "Summer Frenzy" Project which takes place in a village school to cater for young children when the school is closed for school holidays. Since both parents work, these children would end up with grandparents or alone at home. With the help of our volunteers and professional school staff we devise a fun filled programme based on a 'reverse syllabus' whereby the emphasis is on the creative arts and sports rather than academic subjects as is the norm in Malta in winter schools. We try to compare the type and degree of volunteer learning that takes place in this project as compared to work placements.
