Unemployment rates are particularly high in most EU countries while youth unemployment rates are generally much higher, even double compared with other age groups. In countries such as Greece, Italy and others, the youth unemployment rates are approaching or have exceeded 50%, creating seriousconcern. The youth unemployment has profound effects on a personal and social level. In this context, the ultimate goal of the project is to contribute to enhancing the employability of young people in Europe. To achieve the above goal, a number of objectives have been set:<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Creating a reflection on the high unemployment of young people and highlighting the importance of the problem.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Raising young people\u2019s awareness on the issue of unemployment and empowering them to put pressure for further measures against youth unemployment and to promote the message.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Development of young people\u2019s skills so that they can &#8222;present&#8220; themselves effectively in the labor market.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Informing young people of the benefits of non-formal learning and volunteering.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Facilitating the exchange of views between young people from different countries, promoting mutual understanding and cooperation.<br \/>\n52 young participants aged 18 to 30 years and 13 Youth Leaders from different cultural, social and economic backgrounds with keen interest and concern for these issues and characterized by a strong need to further explore them will be the main exchange group and will contribute to its preparation, implementation, evaluation, communication and results\u2019 dissemination. The activity will be implemented by three (3) youth workers from Greece.<br \/>\nThese young people will gather for eight days in the city of Athens and will participate in a series of\u00a0 ctivities concerning youth unemployment. They will be familiarized with intervention ways, they will conduct awareness activities, will get to know the future professions and will gain skills on effectively presenting themselves in a job interview, writing a CV and other related matters.<br \/>\nThe project methodology is based on methods of non-formal learning, peer learning,\u00a0active involvement of the participants and equal cooperation between the partners.<br \/>\nAll activities have an interactive character, promote experiential learning, require the active participation of young people and enhance their creativity.<br \/>\nMain results of the project will be youth information on the data related to unemployment, their awakening and mobilization for action, their empowerment and the development of skills useful in finding a job, the increase of their confidence and their readiness to take more informed decisions about educational and career paths. In the long-term it is expected a growth in the opportunities that will be provided to young people to develop their skills, quantitative and qualitative increase of the initiatives aiming at increasing the employability of young people, further measures and the creation of more targeted policies, the active participation of the young people in lobbying activities and thereby the creation of more employment opportunities for young people.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Main learning Outcomes:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Participants in the project will acquire \/ improve the following knowledge, skills and attitudes \/ behaviors:<br \/>\n\u2022 Familiarize themselves with the issue of youth unemployment in Europe, get to know the situation in other countries and gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon (personal and social factors).<br \/>\n\u2022 Be aware of measures and policies that can contribute to tackling youth unemployment, but also ways to act themselves and put pressure on national and European measures, as well as awakening their peers.<br \/>\n\u2022 Learn to conduct awareness-raising activities on unemployment by using social media to spread the messages they want.<br \/>\n\u2022 They will know professions that present demand today as well as professions that seem to create job opportunities in the future and will be better prepared to choose the career they want to follow.<br \/>\n\u2022 They will learn the different skills they need in the workplace and will distinguish those that are basic in each occupation being better prepared to design their future educational choices.<br \/>\n\u2022 Develop their skills in effectively presenting themselves in a job interview.<br \/>\n\u2022 They will learn how to draft an &#8222;attractive&#8220; CV in European standards.<br \/>\n\u2022 Become familiar with professional platforms and tools that can create their professional profile and learn to create their profile.<br \/>\n\u2022 Understand how the Youth Pass Certificate, non-formal education and volunteering can help to find a job.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Participant`s profile required:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Young people 16 &#8211; 30 years old.<\/li>\n<li>With keen interest on exploring the topic of youth unemployment<\/li>\n<li>Eager to take action against youth unemployment or have already participated in such initiatives<\/li>\n<li>Unemployed youngsters willing to know more about searching a job<\/li>\n<li>Youngsters that have voluntary and non-formal learning experiences that helped them find a job<\/li>\n<li>Very good level of English<\/li>\n<li>Ability to take part in all project stages: in preparation activities, project itself and in follow up activities on local level after return home;<\/li>\n<li>Participants will have the possibility to present their cultures and their traditions, during informal moments as well as Intercultural night activity;<\/li>\n<li>Some priority will be given to youth belonging from minority groups or facing economic difficulties, coming from rural areas or with other disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as participants from Tryavna or the region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Venue:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Participants of the project will be hosted in \u201cLondon hotel\u201d located in the coastal road of Poseidonos Avenue in Glyfada.

For the intercultural night, we ask you to prepare in advance a brief performance (singing, your traditional music, popular dances) to present your group (typical costumes are really welcomed!).<br \/>\nThe main idea of this presentation is: What is important for a stranger to know about my country?<br \/>\nAny kind of presentation is granted, better not to do a power-point presentation to avoid yawning.<br \/>\nThe Intercultural night is the \u201cmost wanted event\u201d on the beginning of the youth exchange.
