Dialogue and Cooperation – Cooperation with Civil Society: Education, Training and Youth

Our project ” E-youth patrimony “is a  network strategic project which brings together a network of 16 youth organizations  from 14 European countries to exchange their practices and their experiences on the accompaniment  and support of young crafters, the development of their skills and their integration  in professional market  and setting up together activities to support the young crafters of our communities.

This networking project aims also  to set up common projects for young people of different profiles and abilities in the field of craft and handmade creations or in other interested topics  that occupy our  youngsters.

Our project has 3 components:

1- Establishment and follow-up a strategic cooperation plan to support young crafters and to integrate them  into professional  life.

2- Exchanging good practices in youth work between partners.

3- Cooperate  in common projects of common  interest that meet the needs of  our young people  & our  communities: Volunteering / exchanges / training / youth initiatives / professional internships ….
Our project can last  3 years. For 2018, 5 statutory meetings have been scheduled. Each meeting brings together 8 partners from 8 of the 16 members of our network.
Our plan for  2018 is as follows:

1- Two “transnational contact meetings“:  will bring together different partners for two days to discuss the objectives,  to define the way of cooperation  and expected results. They will also define the  role of each for the preparation and implementation of our strategic plan.  A report of each meeting will be  prepared & shared with all partners.

2–  A survey will be  conducted for young people involved in the craft industry  from  each partner country, responding to the following elements:
– The reality of  craft trades business in each partner country
– The involvement of young people in these professions

– How the state and local authorities  encourage young people to get involved in craft trades business
– The problems encountered  in  this sector
– The awareness of young people   for the value of crafts for saving and giving additional value to our  cultural heritage.
– The needs of young people to develop their skills and to invest in this sector.
NB: We mean with the craft, any handmade creation.
