Õpiränne Ungaris: Youth work must go on!

Õpiränne Ungaris: Youth work must go on!
Asukoht: Kiskunfélegyháza, Hungary
Toimumise aeg: 16.08.2021 – 24.08.2021 (+ 2 travel days)

Saatvaks organisatsiooniks on Avatud Ühiskond MTÜ. Koolituse eesmärk on tuua kokku üliõpilased, noored, vabatahtlikud, õpetajad, õppejõud, koolitajad, õpipoisid, noorsootöötajad, ja haridustöötajad, et mõtestada ühiselt kuidas pakkuda noorsootööga seonduvaid e-teenuseid noortele kvaliteetsemalt.

Õpiränne on üheks programmi Euroopa Noored kandvaks ja arendavaks jõuks, sest selle kaudu kujundatakse tulevikku silmas pidades noorsootöö kvaliteeti. See toimub peamiselt läbi rahvusvahelise kogemustevahetuse ning noorsootöötajate täiendkoolituse, aga ka rahvusvaheliste võrgustike ja partnerlussuhete arengu toetamise. Noorsootöötajate õpirände kaudu edendatakse väga erinevaid tegevusvorme – alates diskussioonidest Euroopa noorsoopoliitika päevakorralistel teemadel ja lõpetades konkreetsete projektide teostuseks vajalike partnerlussuhete arendamisega.

Noorsootöötajate osalus õpirändes panustab samuti organisatsiooni tegevussuutlikkuse arengusse. Aastal 2021 pööratakse Erasmus+ programmis erilist tähelepanu noorsootöötajate pädevuste arendamisele ja meetodite jagamisele, mis aitavad edasi anda meie ühiskonna põhiväärtusi ja ära hoida noorte radikaliseerumist.

Projekti töökeel on inglise keel ning sellest lähtuvalt on projektiga seonduv informatsioon ning registreerimine lisatud vastavalt. Korduma kippuvate küsimustega on võimalik tutvuda siin. Kõikide küsimustega võib meie poole pöörduda eesti keeles: info@uhiskond.ee

General information and description of the project – Objectives

The statistic displays a forecast of the internet user penetration rate in Hungary from 2015 to 2022. In 2022, the share of monthly active internet users is projected to reach 78.9 per cent of the total population. Young people are the main users of the Internet among population groups in Europe. Based on the EUROSTAT in 2018, 83 % of young people used mobile phones to access the internet away from home or work. The Internet creates opportunities for participation for youth with cultural disadvantages. As we could see, the Internet being a strong tool for participation can also lead to a lot of harm for young people due to such factors as anonymity, lack of control of the quality and objectivity of the information provided there, the spread of violence and hate speech. To use the whole potential and benefits of the Internet for the involvement of youth into active participation, we need to consider those factors. The general objectives of the project are:

To increase critical thinking, internet literacy and sense of initiative of YP to build a safe space for participation online;
To develop a shared understanding of youth participation online and analyse the achievements and pitfalls of current youth participation in these processes;
To explore what are the rights, the means, the spaces, the opportunities and the support required by YP to meaningfully participate in the shaping of the Internet;
To engage YP online and develop their capacity and competencies in active participation in the life of the community; To create opportunities for participation of YP with disadvantages through the online space;
To equip youth workers with different tools and practices of involving youth to active participation online;
To build capacities of youth organizations through sharing and exploring the tools of engaging youth to active participation in democratic life through online participation and activism.

Organisational development goals set up by the outcomes of researches:

We will plan 32 local workshops and the online campaign with, for and by YP to promote active offline and online youth participation for with and by YP with different cultural backgrounds in the following 2 years.
We will edit an e-booklet on the List of benefits and risks of YP’ online participation and Descriptions of online tools for supporting the safe online participation of YP.
We will invent together at least 16 international youth exchanges to involve YP to fight against hate speech towards YP different cultural backgrounds in the following 2 years.
We will start partnership building among 12 local youth organisations of the host partner and the other 9 partners of our consortium to sustain the outcomes of our project within future intercultural cooperation. Professional learning needs of our fellow youth workers, youth leaders:
We will increase critical thinking and internet literacy of youth workers to build a safe space for participation online for YP with a special focus on having culturally diverse backgrounds such as minorities, refugees, migrants, Roma, etc.;
