Description
The last years Southern Neighborhood (SN) regional development (Region 3) has paved the way for a skyrocketing increase in the number and nature of newly established youth Civil Society Actors (CSAs) that are now impacting the lives of millions of young people in the region. Indeed, the youth CSAs have done a tremendous work to help bridge the gap where the governments’ efforts were inadequate. In these last years, thanks to the Association Agreements (AA), the EU has been always closer to the region. The AA has helped transfer administrative good practices and approximation to EU laws and norms to southern partner countries’ public administrations through over 230 institutional twinning (EU, 20201). Over 40.000 students, researchers and university staff moved between Europe and the Mediterranean region between 2015 and 2019, participating in 3.951 projects in the framework of Erasmus+. Against this background, it is evident that financial resources from donors could help support various regional projects, especially the implementation of pilot projects and the exchange of experiences and lessons from across the region. However, to reach this, it is fundamental to organize capacity building trainings for youth CSAs in the SN in order to:•raise their capacity of working with young people outside formal learning; •promote non-formal learning activities in SN, especially targeting young people with fewer opportunities, with a view to improving the level of competences while ensuring the active participation of young people in society.In order to achieve such objective, FAIR project is going to:•define a competence frame for youth workers in the Region working internationally;•build a training module for youth workers to increase their capacity by promoting a contextualized education approach;•and provide a risk management plan to support the organization actions in the Region, that contain elementary safety and management.
