Our project aim is to give hard and soft skills, related to civil protection and survival skills to youngsters, especially
marginalised young people or youngsters who live in rural areas. Thus they can improve their employability, can become
active members of the society, and can be prepared and able to act in the case of the main emergency situations.
With our project we also would like to improve recognition of youth work, and recognition of the youth work in a cross-field
setting.
In the project’s lifetime we will produce a civil protection and survival skills guide for youth workers and civil protection workers. This guide (handbook) is available for everyone to download from this website in five languages (a limited number of printed copies may also be available). In the second phase we train sixteen youth workers or civil protection workers to be able to deliver a course. In the last stage pilot groups will take part in this course.
We expect that the knowledge, what the youngsters acquire will boost their self-esteem and they will be more confident in their relevant soft skills. They will have the knowledge to help in emergency situations therefore their recognition will raise in the societyfeel and they will feel equal members of the society. We expect that the course will improve their soft skills, such as teamwork, communication. In addition, we expect that youth workers will use the course amongst their youth group and spread the word about it, leading to more and more cross-sectoral collaboration.
