yourKITE educational resources are now ready to be shared with other organizations interested in youth programs

All yourKITE educational resources developed within yourKITE project are now available on the project’s platform (www.yourkite.org), so that they can be accessed by any organization or individual interested in developing youth programs or projects.

The yourKITE educational resources are presented to the main stakeholders, youth organizations, NGOs and youth workers, from Norway, Poland and Romania within several multiplier events organized at the end of June 2017 (check partners’ websites for details about the events).

yourKITE Project (The initiative to enhance Young people Knowledge and skills on IT and Entrepreneurship and increase their Employability) aimed to develop communication and digital media skills and entrepreneurship knowledge and competences of young people, while promoting volunteering and professional orientation among youth, in order to increase their employability.

Through the project implemented during 2015-2017, organizations from Norway, Poland, and Romania developed several educational tools that can be used by young trainers, youth workers or youth organizations in delivering workshops on topics, such as entrepreneurship, media & communication, volunteering and career counseling. These tools include a toolkit, an online learning platform with valuable educational resources, and online courses for young people / youth workers in the areas mentioned above.

Through the yourKITE online training and the learning platform, the youth workers or young trainers can develop or enhance their knowledge and skills on training methodology for youth and adult learners; and then, they can specifically learn about how to conduct training sessions on visual communication, entrepreneurship, volunteering and career guidance for young people. Also, they have access to the yourKITE toolkit – a handbook for trainers with relevant theory, training scenarios and other essential resources on the same topics. The youth organizations or other NGOs can use these educational resources to train their own staff or volunteers who work with young people. Moreover, the youth organizations and NGOs can also used the insight report of the project, which can help them, with valuable advices and lessons learned, in organizing similar projects or activities for youth.

The yourKITE project partners are: Norsensus Mediaforum (Oslo, Norway), Fundacja Aktywnych Inicjatyw Rozwoju (Warsaw, Poland), Fundacja Rozwoju Spoleczenstwa Informacyjnego (Warsaw, Poland), Fundatia Danis pentru Dezvoltare Manageriala (Cluj, Romania). The project is co-financed by the European Commission, within the Erasmus+ Programme, and through the help of Aktiv Ungdom (The Norwegian National Agency for Erasmus+).
