MasterPeace Global Network, together with CSOs working with youth (2 x Balkan, 2 x Middle East, and 1 Western EU) are challenged by interrelated themes like the lack of social inclusion, climate dilemmas, and lack of jobs perspectives. CSOs need to develop new ways to engage, connect and empower youngsters.

The overall needs overview matches with our primary objective “to boost the competence, capacity, and recognition of CSOs (in the three partner countries as well as two EU countries) in a transnational coalition of CSOs by jointly learning, evaluating, develop and implement innovative non-formal education (NFE) formats that support our ambition to engage, connect and empower youngsters (especially young women in rural areas) outside formal learning”.

Our sub-objectives are:

● To create an innovative portfolio of NFE materials that is digital, easy to use, and scalable focused on social inclusion, environmental challenges, and social entrepreneurial mindset;

● To train Youth Workers to work with the developed innovative (blended learning) NFE materials

● To build an ecosystem of CSOs and youngsters, in co-creation with local communities and government, that can act as an accelerator for sustainable change;

● To engage, connect and empower youngsters (75% young women; 30% from a minority background);

● 3 Thematic NFE handbooks; 3 online courses in 5 languages (English, Arabic, Croatian, Albanian, and Dutch);

● 1 transnational Social entrepreneurship challenge with 25 participants;

● 5 Great Minds Meetings, each with 30 stakeholders;

● 1 EU survey on CSOs needs

● 45 youth workers trained (15 from partners; 30 from local CSOs);

● 25 projects run by 200 Youngsters (75% women, 30% with a minority background)
