Summary of the results
The purpose of the project was to build on the experiences of the partners in youth work and in offering support services to social field professionals who work directly with young people. Through the project have been created networking contexts and moments of sharing and transferring knowledge among the participants in order to support capacity building and sustainability of actions implemented by both organizations. The project activities included two learning mobilities addressed to social field professionals, supervisors, mentors, trainers – all staff and collaborators of Concordia Humanitarian Organization. The first learning mobility was organized with 8 Romanian social field professionals. The mobility focused on the exchange of experiences and practices in youth work, as well as on differences and similarities regarding the integration of vulnerable youth. The second learning mobility was organized with 8 supervisors, coach and trainers. Impact on participants is given by the increased level of knowledge regarding similarities and differencies between the two social systems, sharing of experiencies regarding youth work and perspectives on how to use various methods and instruments in youth work, better understanding what type of measures can be adopted/adapted in supporting practitioners working with vulnerable categories. The project ended with an online conference to present the results achieved and to share experiences. 44 participants registered to the event.
