Expected results and outcomes

This output aims at developing and providing a) the training material for Young Local Ambassadors (YLAs) in the learning centres/Country Info Points; b) Piloting of YLA programme curriculum & evaluation; and c) the development of digital modules. The material will be prepared in both English and the native languages of the consortium implementing countries (Hungarian, Italian, Spanish, Greek), where CIPs will be established. This result aims at promoting active citizenship and raising intercultural awareness among youth in Europe, by supporting them in the development of key skills for the labour market;

This result aims at designing and providing all the necessary information, methodology, and management plan for establishing and piloting CIPs as forward-looking learning centres that will provide non-formal learning opportunities to participants. The Country Info Points this project will use will be located in Hungary, Italy, Spain, and Greece (consortium implementation countries). This project result will allow us to test the effectiveness of the set-up of CIPs as learning centres, their operation, the variety of training opportunities and activities developed under R1, and lastly the interaction of young participants in CIPs with other stakeholders, such as local authorities, diplomatic missions, as well as international and cultural organisations;

Following the piloting of CIPs under R2, a report on the operation of the four piloting CIPs will be produced, including lessons learned and best practices that could be replicated elsewhere. Feedback by all stakeholders involved and the YLAs themselves will be incorporated in the handbook and inform policy recommendations on increasing young people’s civic engagement with people across different countries and leading to a positive impact on their attitudes towards inclusion and democracy. The outcomes from R2 will be used by the partners to design and develop a policy handbook, which will be freely available online in English and all the consortium languages upon the completion of the project, and which will be presented in the final conference in Brussels.
