Cooperation Partnership in Youth

CONTEXT

A high number of reports and studies reveal that social marginalization is still a widely diffused phenomenon in Europe, especially in the Mediterranean region. During their transition from students to workers, young individuals tend to loosen their ties with their communities, becoming less and less interested in economic, social and political realities of their country and Europe as a whole.

CoMuSYc aims to play an active role in fighting social exclusion by providing tools and strategies for keeping an open dialogue with the marginalized youth, allowing them to express their fears and emphasizing their talents, competencies, and skills.

OBJECTIVES

The core innovation of CoMuSYc resides in its idea of creating a series of learning access points in everyday experience, where individuals will be put in the condition of expressing their ideas with imaginative, structured, cultural, and artistic learning. CoMuSYc seeks to develop Project Results that support the creation of new pathways to initial vocational education and social integration. By fully utilizing peer mentors aged 18-30 as motivators (active involvement of target group in project tools design and development), the CoMuSYc approach combines these elements to bring ‘back’ into learning and engaging marginalized youth and support their social and economic integration. The CoMuSYc approach will place the key competencies, especially soft skills, of the European Reference Framework for Lifelong Learning (ERF) at its heart, and equip the trainers and tutors that support the young people with adaptable and effective tools.
