ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project Generation Next: Empower Your Career Success!

tackles the issue of youth unemployment in Europe and defines several crucial steps that can help young people improve their position in the labour market. Therefore, the project helps the young people:

• define their potential role in the current labour market,
  
• identify their own goals and what they need to achieve them,
  
• become aware of their own values,
  
• develop skillset that is crucial to pursue their individual goals.

Some of the crucial skills were identified based both on previous research and experience as the ability to create valuable social connections, confidence and a sense of self-worth in order to take risks and developing initiative and taking control over their situation and acting as leaders.

Generation Next: Empower your career success! is a youth exchange in the Czech Republic that will be structured for the participants to achieve the objectives of the project as well as individual learning goals.

Together we will do researches, presentations, discussions, quizzes, individual assessment and interactive creative workshops for the participants to define causes of youth unemployment, seek individual solutions, define individual goals and needs. Afterwards, a set of creative games, artistic workshops and other exercises will be organized, which will help the participants develop some crucial skills and competences to succeed in the labour market. There will be sessions carried out for the participants to introduce them to study/work/business opportunities in the EU and exchange experiences. Last but not least, we will organize activities to help the participants develop connections, build trust and quality team work and good relationships in order to build potential cross-border cooperation for future projects. There will be several activities carried out to also enhance tolerance among the young people, foster intercultural learning and understanding of diversity and other cultures as well as awareness of the common European values.
