Because it was not a very structured sector before, the pandemic actually helped to get the sector more united. The European Year of youth also helped.

The question is, is Erasmus+ and international mobility a relevant thing for them in the actual context?

# data[].attributes.body
We should act, not talk - but it is not easy. The money are there but not all can be spent by organizations.
Solidarity projects - we were all expecting more from young peope eg. in Finland, but young people go to work straight after learning process, with no gap in between.
Maybe we should change the narrative of the programme - not to speak only about mobilities.
we should reach new groups of people and refer to values more, and needs of young people such as improving mental health etc.
Also - the narrative of mobility vs. climate change should be more targeted to young people - for them obilities = carbon footprint. How to convince them?

Finally - the organizations need to be more (financially) convinced to involve, young people still have the need for mobility (we see that in DiscoverEU centralised action), but they also need support from organizations

# data[].attributes.body
NAs are not for policy making, we are more operational. NAUs should be more involved in convincing young people to act and make opportunities for them.

# data[].attributes.body
In this renewed context of crisis, at national level their is even more than before a danger that youth work is overlooked so strenghten the cross-sectorial cooperation on the recognition of youth work and non-formal education.

# data[].attributes.body
They didn't have time to adapt to the changes

# data[].attributes.body
NA could bring togheter different partners, stakeholders (policy makers, youth work, young people, NYCs, etc) to ensure that the information on the recovery funds and how to access them is, shared as well as the access for youth work to the funds is better ensured.

Be aware of the needs of the sector in general and know about other funding oportunities apart from the programs. Promote as a whole.

Yes - the shared impression is that we should invest in builing up more good quality projects (not everywhere it goes down), most NAs introduce support measures

Also, we finance more projects from lower rankings at the ranking lists as the budget allocation per round is higher.
- HU - more projects submitted, more newcomer organizations of which some are NOT interested in trainings offered by the NA. NET funds used to provide support direct coaching, building also coaches database to consult young people for help (as support measure). Also - workshops "From ideas to change" for potential applicants.
- FI - on-line informal meetings for solidarity projects: it helped with quality
- PL - ESC on tour, in E+: on-line webinars and consultations with organizations; E+ and ESC + sometimes Eurodesk and SALTO EECA in synergy - organizing bigger events together
- RO - on-line courses/webinars + support in writting application forms (ESC solidarity, E+ participation)

Good practices to attract new participants

Good practices to attract new participants

# data[].attributes.body
- Work with umbrella organisations (events, promotion of the opportunities)
- Project writing camps for young people (in an innovation lab for start-ups)
- Use of Tik tok, instagram etc. to touch the 18+
- Mapping of organisations who could support the young people and promote the programmes' opportunities - time consuming but effective
- Dissemination of good practices through "ambassadors"
- Targeting some specific groups (like municipalities through SNACs (EGL, DR))
- Inviting organisations who could share their good practices with potential newcoming org/ groups of young people in the framework of seminars/ trainings etc.
- Labs/PBAs to create more partnerships (E+ participation activities etc)- use the SNACs (New power in Youth? etc)
-  Contract external advisers/ coaches through management fees or national funds to support the NA for promotion, training and support to participants in the process + follow-up
- Regional targeting, regional actions of promotion
- Training activities (transnational, national)/ online national training for KA2 projects - monitoring now the impact to adpat our strategy accordingly - French speaking NAs cooperation for Solidarity projects and participation activities (PBA)
- Promoting Solidarity projects towards former EVS/EuSC volunteers when they come back
- Promoting opportunities during TEC trainings
- Go to highschools for promotion / universities
- More promotion in public transports when possible
- Planning timeslots for consultation before deadlines
- Tailor-made webinars for targeted groups (youth centres working with unprivileged youth, orphinages etc)
- Prepare "lessons" (and material) for teachers at schools about EU Youth opportunities
- Gathering municipalities, create a network
- Proposing to read draft applications before deadlines
- Focusing on accrediations, embark experienced organisations so they can also act as multipliers at the local level and attract new publics (same approach with QL)

# data[].attributes.body
- Long process to apply
- High requirements for quality and reporting compared to national and local funding opportunities
- Competition with national/local opportunities

In KA220 the 3 countries necessasary to create a project is an obstacle especially when it comes to using KA2 as an instrument in the recovery process for youth work. It is hard to find partners with a similar focus.

# data[].attributes.body
Would be good to share good practises from KA220.

# data[].attributes.body
Unit costs specifically for the virtual sessions. The budget is short and they don't want to do extra

A way for them to specify it wo we can get that information from the tools

# data[].attributes.body
The KA220 lump sum model still needs more time for potential beneficiaries and NAs to get used to and to see the opportunities that are within especially with a focus on recovery.
Communication plays an important role in this. Descriptions of what youth work is can be used in the promotion in order to focus this action more.

# data[].attributes.body
KA210 seems to be more suitable and has potential to develop youth work in general and in the light of the recovery process.

# data[].attributes.body
It will help accesibility and inclusion and allow people to participate that otherwise could not be part of it

Develop and promote attractive digital tools

so the virtual is appealing for them
We can learn from the school sector.
Create a list of this tool and maybe get licenses?
Hire experts from outside youth sector (i.e. gaming experts)

# data[].attributes.body
They are still tired of virtual activities after the pandemic and maybe in a mid term they will be more willing to integrate it

# data[].attributes.body
Adress the topic specifically in the info. sessions
Reject the preparatory visit if it is not online.

# data[].attributes.body
- FI - when compared to E&T experts the YOU are more strict (a good pool with youthwork experts)
- PL - asking experts to explain why they deduct points; training at least 2x per year, separate for Key Actions
- GR - looking for projects where young people are really involved
- reacurring applicants - not all organizations read evaluation criteria and submit the same applications
- in KA2 - with no budget cuts the experts get more strict on quality, especially in KA220 projects

# data[].attributes.body
Promote https://www.qualitymobility.app/  more
It seems that such information is still needed and should be widespread among organizations

How to be sure of the participation in the virtual environment. ie where they connected the whole time, where they not paying attention...

A KA2 staff training will be a good place to share good practises and those should be part of the report.

Applications - they should follow project logic more?

# data[].attributes.body
Not all of us were convinced to that - but in general we all agreed that the applications could be simpler and made in the way the organization can use them  afterwards for project planning.
Gannt tables were good in Action 2 - now they are not there, reinstate them?...
- NAs maybe should be engaged more in designing questions in the application forms, not ust only technical testing
