AIM
CONTINUE will support young people suffering from social exclusion to tackle the specific challenges of post-COVID times in terms of staying connected and integrated into European communities.
Outcomes will cover the 3 main fields of needs identified as:
- The need to understand better the problems faced by youth as a result of COVID-19
- The need to find their connectivity to their communities, institutions, policies
- The need of digital skills and capacities and to improve their social inclusion
SHORT DESCRIPTION
For youth on the margins of society, the COVID -19 emergency raised multiple complications such as:
- increase of their financial, material and health-related vulnerabilities;
- loss of their existing connections to the institutions, social care system, job opportunities & decrease of their chances of social integration;
- lack of some basic skills and capacities in digital communication cutting them from their social, educational and economic connections.
CONTINUE will directly involve young people with migrant and other marginal backgrounds in the project activities in order to enhance the interaction between individuals, their communities and the pan-European levels.
The project is funded by the European programme Erasmus+ and made possible by the cooperation of eight organizations: Comparative Research Network from #Germany, People’s Voice Media from #UK, Crossing Borders from #Denmark, Fajdp – Federação das Associações Juvenis do Distrito do Porto from #Portugal, Per Esempio Onlus and #YouthEuropeService from #Italy, Artemisszió Alapítvány from #Hungary and Active Youth Projects from #Lithuania.
