Employability Guide for Youth - Swedish and Georgian Perspectives project arises from the specific needs of youth entering the labor market and thus specific needs of NGOs, public bodies and their youth workers, which are active in this field and working with this sector of youth. It is their task to encourage young people in being self-initiative and taking risks at the beginning of their working life. Project is coordinated and facilitated by Ung Fritid cooperation with Center for Development and Democracy. Young people encounter difficulties in the transition from education to labor market. While theoretical knowledge about the labor market can be gained at schools and formal institutions, the youth workers are there to develop their sense of active approach of new generations of youth towards entrepreneurship and to help them to face challenges and surmount the difficulties. “Y and Z” generations of youth have lots of ideas on how to set up a business, create community projects or voluntary actions. They are enthusiastic to make a change in their lives and communities but lack the skill of how to initiate, develop an idea until a long-term result, react immediately to unexpected changes, perceive reality objectively, recognize their real needs and opportunities, work independently or in a team in a long-term. Public institutions, Youth workers and NGOs face similar challenges; entrepreneurship is a common learning need for both groups. Our aim is to address this need. The project aims to show different opportunities and how they help in shaping their professional future. Being involved in volunteering projects, working in NGOs can make a great impact on the youngsters.

Taller d’Art, Cultura i Creació has commemorated, as every 20th of June, the World Refugee Day, in order to try to raise awareness about the global refugee crisis and to claim the importance of a response at the local and international level. On the one hand, and within the framework of the Twinning between Sabadell City Council and the Sahrawi people, the Sabadell artist Belén Perea has made a video to make the invisible visible through various materials and using techniques such as storytelling and collage. Thus, the work focuses on the magnitude of forced displacement around the world and the work being done by the city of Sabadell to mitigate its consequences. In addition, the illustrator knows first-hand one of these projects, as she participated in the Solidarity Camps with Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf last year. On the other hand, TACC has collaborated with the City Council of Rubí in the development of the campaign 'Youth of Rubí with the Sahara', spread through the Instagram of Rubí Jove, so that the young people of the municipality know the reality of the refugees from Western Sahara.
Through a video made with the collaboration of students from La Serreta Institute and edRa School, and a live broadcast with Mahmuda Mohamed, a young Sahrawi resident in Barcelona, the young people were able to get out blindfold themselves and make themselves aware of the situation that this town has been living in for 44 years. Finally, as coordinating organisation for the Erasmus+ Key Action 2 project “Strategic Human Rights Meeting Point”, TACC launched a challenge on social media under the hashtag #RaiseYourVoiceforRefugees, with the collaboration of the other participating organisations. Through black-and-white photographs with their mouths covered and holding posters, we have sought to make the situation of refugees visible to raise awareness among young people about the human rights violations that forgotten conflicts cause. K.A.NE developed a new project during quarantine named Digital K.A.NE. It is a platform which aims to support young people in developing themselves in social and educational level. In this project the ESC volunteers will be involved by developing content so young people can use it and benefit from it. It is a platform of exchanging knowledge as the main idea is the volunteers to create podcasts, campaigns, radio shows, tutorials, online lessons etc for the young people so they can increase their skills anytime & online. Website of the platform https://kanedigital.ngokane.org/ It is a regrettable fact that modern city dwellers and especially the young generations are so alienated from nature that they know little about the food they eat every day, where it comes from, how crops are grown etc. This is also true for students in Malta. Due to the industrialization and urbanization of the archipelago environment, Maltese students are in the dark about the nature of their daily food which leads to their low appreciation of Nature all around us. As they live in extensively urban areas, they lack the awareness, knowledge and skills on how to use the space around them to produce basic crops. Training young farmers in the cityCorrecting these deficiencies is what a new project, dubbed Farm the City and funded under the Erasmus+ programme, is attempting to do. Among the project partners are PRISMS MALTA, the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology, and two Romanian participants – “Dr. Alexandru Safran” Secondary School and the non- profit Association for Education and Training (ASEF), both based in the city of Bacau. The main aim of Farm the City project is to make the young people aware that they can make use of urban spaces to grow their own crops and to show them how to do this. The objectives of the projectTo achieve the main aim, the project partners have set the following objectives:
