We're trying to find new solutions as lot's of our target students are all at home. I'm trying to give info on FB and Instagram ,but after this course I think I'll be able to use new tools you introduced to us.

I've been in "Erasmus world" only for 3 months and I helped to write an Esc projects, to find volunteers and partners. If everything goes well we'll host 4 volunteers from EU and from extra EU and we'll make them socialize with local people to promote and support cultural exchange.

We became a Eurodesk point in Trapani, a small city in which young people unfortunately don't know anything about the opportunites EU can offer them.

MartaWe work with boys and girls of 14-19 years old. They need to improve their English and above all to experiment non formal education. That's why we're working on soft skills and we're trying to arrange everything to help our teachers to change their didactic methods.

Doing different activities with youth we are telling them the most important thing that they are the axample for next generations. It motivates them this way to do more and better things.

Seeing youth workers in Santander during our projects the main concern was if their new ideas and energy could be really used in every-day life. That is why networking and motivation from your partners really count. Supporting each other regularly helps in maintaining your ideas and energy for them on a high level once you come back to reality.

# data[].attributes.body
While working in Santander as a volunteer I could observe how local organisations supported each other. For instance, there is ONCE organisation who supports the blind and people with vision impairment. The youth workers could walk with the blind, listen to their stories and see what it is like to live in Santander, being a blind (or nearly blind) person. ONCE wanted to support our projects as it was beneficial both for our youth workers as for the locals - it was a truly international and INTERGENERATIONAL experience people appreciated very much.

The pandemic taught us patience and respect and caused compulsory online work. We could develop our technical skills and ought to find new, interesting approaches to energize people while staying at home.

This situation impacted our work very much. Many activities are held on line, face to face events are banned and we cannot do volunteering online. Children and teenagers need social contact and they are very affected about this situation. We did some activities online: we played games, we took part in contest (who draw the nicest comic book), we created a poster for an eTwinning project. We try to do something different to keep them motivated and involved.

We have 2 Erasmus + projects in progress in our school so before the mobilities we ask what are their needs and preferences especially regarding food, but also the activities they prefer, the places they want to visit. We have also another exchange project with a high school in France, so our student are used to different cultural background.

We work with other local NGOs but we would like to find partners from other countries. We also have some partners in our Erasmus+ projects.

I try to keep them connected to the real problems of our community because they haven't disappeared yet. I talk to them about the international and transnational projects cause Inthink thet these kinds of approch is the key element of change.

We work with children and teenagers between 6 and 19 years old. They are involved in all kinds of activities, but due to this pandemic period we are worried that they will lose motivation to do something else for others.

We are giving them a fun, sport, and efectively spent time without visible learning school system.

I would empower youth with some positive benefits from their work for others. They can take some courses for free, they can borrow our equipment or we provide them a chance to help them with a career questions.

I would support this kind of organisation because its more visible to the world. It should be working good. It is reachable for everyone.

We achieve success with teaching after school non european kids who don't speak english nor czech. We realize that when they need to learn in czech schools without firstly understanding then we can start teaching them without possibility to speak their mother language too.

Current situation impacted our work very much. We cannot provide any social contact. We manage some online activities such as quizs, chats. But these are not so sufficient as personal connection.

It's hard and it's getting very frustrating to be honest. I need the face to face contact :(

We could not make our Healthie weekend happen because of Covid-19 (during that weekend we train young people to give the Healthie workshops at school). But still school are asking for our workshops...

For our online youth platform I organise online meetings but it feels very weird to be honest. These young people want to be part of this project, they want to participate and all I want to do is to show some appreciation by having a drink somewhere. That's the least thing you can do and due to this COVID-19 that's not possible anymore. So I'm worried that they maybe will drop off...

# data[].attributes.body
That's a good question. Starting from this year we have a colleague who focus on a diversity policy. At the moment she is doing research on how inclusive JOETZ towards our target group.

# data[].attributes.body
Joetz has it's main national office in Brussels but actually their are local offices in each region of Flanders. These local JOETZ organisations focus on organising holidays, training the young volunteers who organise these holidays and guiding our Healthies.
The part of international Erasmis youth work is located in our national office at Brussels, where I work. Our goal is to bring this international Ermasmus story also to thise local organisations. Wether to send these volunteers to training courses, youth exchanges of ESC or even to convince them to write a ESC project and to host someone.

So connecting with our own local JOETZ organisations is already a big challgenge.

Apart from this we often network with other organisations in the fiel of youth work to look for young people to send them on Erasmus+ projects.

- Healthies project
We educate young people (18-30) to give workshops at primary and secondary schools about sexual health, healthy food and media. They can choose whenever they want to give a workshop and also where to give it. We believe in peer-to-peer that's why we give them the knowledge and tools to go to our youth and go interaction with them. We believe that our young people are able to give these workshops.
- ZAPmag.be project
ZAPmag.be is our new digital online platform made BY young people. They decide what kind of content will be on the platform and they make the content. Last week we decided to start out own instagram channel.
Yesterday we had our first meeting with 5 interested young people. We belive that they can organise this platform on their own, I am the professional who only facilitates this process. For me that's all about empowerment!

# data[].attributes.body
- concerns: how can we still see each other during this COVID-19 period? What about our youth work?
- needs: social contact in real life!

For the moment, I do not have significant problems with the COVID-19 as most of the work is online based.

So far, we succeeded to carry out two ESC volunteering projects in one local sport club. I provided support in project writing and administration whereas the club looked for volunteers.

I work with several local sport clubs and national organisations and they would be interested in support my organisation goes internationally due to my previous practical experience in this field - which they need.

I share EU opportunities with local sport clubs and organisations.

My further intention is to kick-off workshops for them on EU opportunities.

Third initiative is to write articles on EU opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of sport clubs have athletes from 13-30 years of age. Therefore, their interest is in learning about how youth work may be implemented in their club. Youth work would add an innovative perform to their usual activities. They can learn how to make their club more locally active and how to use sport for other purposes than for competition.

# data[].attributes.body
We have already international partner but nevertheless we are open to become partner with another NGOs. More over, we work together with local NGO named NSNL. We did several workshops together. The main aime was to give knowledge  about youth activities and let youth people understand that their opinions and their activities were important for sociaty.

In projects we asked before the mobility about special preferences (like culinary ones: Turkish people don't eat pork) and we adjust our activities according to their needs. We encourage intercultural exchange through language, cuisine, clothes, music, history, dances etc.

In Romania we cannot organize any face-to-face event. Most activities have been postponed until the situation improves.

Our institution is based on Musical college named after M.K.Oginsky (Belarus). We work with youth musician and artist (16-22 years old). Besides that we invite local youth (16-25 years old) to join us. We organise youth excange with Erasmus+. Forthemore, we make different workshops and activities where youth can talk to us about their probems or needs.

We work with other youth NGOs from all over the country, Cultural partners like House of culture and volunteering and ceramics master.

We work with youth with fewer opportunities
Some of them are talented musicians
They are eager to learn and share their experience

Due to COVID almost all the activities of the organization shut down. This is why we are now working on training ourselves, both to be more skilled when everything goes back to normal and to learn how to adapt our activities online.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the main reasons why the organization is able to support exchanges between people from different cultures is that the office of the organization is based in a multicultural neighbourhood of the city. For this reason, by reaching people locally, we are able to reach to different cultures and backgrounds.
Situation where I helped achieving success are:
-collaborating at the facilitation of the process of writing an anti-racism pact for the city of Torino
-teaching italian to the ESC volunteers for the organization

Our last local project, financed by the local municipality was related to teaching youth on how to compost and benefits of composting.

Due to covid, and the nature of our activities, which are personal and group contact, the activities have been badly affected. The first wave on coronavirus, in springtime 2020, the actitivities of the association were entirely stopped. The beneficieries of our association had too many online sessions, and this time, it is difficult to offer online sessions of all workshops.
Now, in the second wave, October 2020, and due to the pandemic, we don´t have premises to hold our workshops. Nevertheless, some of the workshops can be held in other premises, and some of them can be held online, but not all. We don´t now how many of our members will participate, becuase we are still in the process.

We have some experience in developing actions with other entities, such as Orientation Club, and Chess Club.

The best thing of our associarion is precisely its independence.
We have the contact and starting connection with a nationwide organization with quie a long experiecne in youth exchanging.
There are some prospects of working together..
Also, there is a local company working in Erasmus+ projects, and we have the commitment of some educational centers (a school and the University)

# data[].attributes.body
Our challenge here is to engage members of the association beyond the age of 13, average age to leave the association.
I think tranasnational non formal education will be the key element of change, that will cause some of the members will stay.
So far, we have been working on Science Fair projects, held annually in Seville; an event where primary and secondary school children show a scientistic project to the public.

Interested in knowing why things occur, the deep origin of events.
Motivated by learning by doing.
Excited at the prospect of widening the learning horizon
