 Formal-Non-Formal: Youth Work in School

This activity is aimed at creating international projects to support the development of young people excluded and those at risk of exclusion from mainstream education.
We will take a cross-sectoral approach by having an insight on how non-formal education can be used to work with these young people and how youth work methods can be used to support their development in educational settings.

Besides sharing each other’s practice, participants will have a chance to observe good practice in Estonia, in particular the effective process of placing youth workers in primary and secondary schools.

As participants we are looking for:
teachers, other school staff, social workers, youth workers
whose role it is to support the inclusion of young people in education
AND who are in a position to commit to partnership on behalf of their organisation or institution.

Priority will be given to the participants of School Inclusion Units project (Leeds, UK in April 2015): http://trainings.salto-youth.net/4752.

This activity will focus on observing and sharing good practices, linking professionals in order to share expertise, opinions and working methods. This will lead to:
Participants being involved in active cooperation between formal and non-formal education organisations;
Participants using youth work approaches to work with inclusion target groups focusing on school inclusion;
new Erasmus+: Youth in Action projects submitted by the participants.
