About this project

<p>The aim of the project is to update the education offer through the exchange of opinions and good practices between organizations with experience in the field of professional youth education and the development of their future competences. Project activities are aimed primarily at young people and learners, as they will be the direct beneficiaries of the project results. The need to implement the project results directly from the lack of flexibility of the education system in Poland in terms of adaptation to the dynamically changing labor market and the lack of a tool for developing the competences of the future among young people. Young people are deprived of adequate preparation to enter the modern labor market. During the project implementation, the applicant will involve external experts to ensure the maximum adaptation of the project results to the needs of recipients. Based on the previous experience and the exchange of opinions and good practices between organizations, an interactive guide for young people will be created, containing elements such as simulation of a job interview, tips and tricks on how to find yourself in a new situation and team, a CV creator and a competency test, which will show the user what development competencies should focus in order to be successful professionally. Thanks to this, the project will be a response to the needs of young people in terms of choosing a career path and acquiring basic knowledge in the field of requirements posed by a modern employer. In addition, the project results will be fully scalable and available, which makes them sustainable.</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

For our organization and the project itself, it was an extremely valuable experience to work with our Norwegian partner TERRAM PACIS. Thanks to their involvement, we gained a unique point of view and the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of young people in Norway. Discussing the educational system and youth support mechanisms there provided us with a lot of valuable information that could also be adapted in Poland. In the course of our cooperation, we jointly analyzed the cultural and systemic differences between our countries, which allowed us to better understand the specific needs of young people. Members of the project team gained invaluable experience, developing their competence to cooperate in an international team, as well as language skills. The trip abroad to Norway turned out to be crucial for deepening cooperation. It enabled our team members to learn directly about Norwegian practices in education and youth support, which inspired us to introduce innovative solutions in our project. Workshops with HR specialists and non-formal education experts allowed us to share good practices and develop effective strategies to adapt our Interactive Competency Guide to the needs of young people in Poland. The cooperation also had a significant impact on the personal development of our team members. The experience gained and newly acquired skills not only enriched their knowledge, but also increased their confidence in the context of international projects. As a result, we are better prepared to implement new initiatives. The integration of the project team was also not without significance. Joint activities, both in Poland and Norway, have helped to strengthen ties and create a strong, cooperating group. We believe that the established partnership will be long-lasting and fruitful, opening new opportunities for cooperation and implementation of future projects.
