Access to Social Rights for young people
Background of the project
Migration flows and urban concentration in Europe have very often resulted in a
growing number of multicultural communities and neighbourhoods. In and around
many cities, the social and economic imbalances associated with migrant and
minority communities have led to the development of disadvantaged
neighbourhoods, where diversity is also accompanied by poverty and often with
marginalisation or exclusion. This is sometimes accompanied by different forms and
levels of de facto social segregation, discrimination and violence.
At times of economic and social crisis, the feelings of powerlessness and anxiety
about the future perspectives risk deepening local tensions and underlying conflicts.
Realities are very different from country to country and from city to city; diverse are
also the responses of local and national authorities. Rarely, however, are the root
causes addressed; at best, policy responses seem to address epiphenomena (e.g.
youth violence or delinquency) at times of critical events or media focus.
The situation of young people in these areas often serves as a barometer of the
integration and cohesion within the community and with society at large. Growing up
lacking faith in their own future, often feared by the institutions and adults, many
young people seem doomed to confirm the assumption that for some people bad luck
appears to be hereditary. The problems are often multi-dimensional and so the
responses need to be inter-sectorial. This complexity, however, can not justify lack of
action or response. On the contrary, it should stimulate cooperation, creativity and
determination in order to prevent escalation of conflicts and, essentially, make sure
that the social (human) rights of the young people concerned are not denied or
violated.
Youth policy and youth work are of course directly concerned by these situations.
Youth workers and youth organisations are often at the forefront of projects designed
to ease tensions, provide alternative non-formal education or leisure time activities,
counter discrimination and exclusion and, generally promote participation and
citizenship. Often, however, these responses are insufficient in number and
sustainability. At European level, few possibilities exist to share experiences and
learn from each other.
The youth policy of the Council of Europe aims at “…providing young people, ie.
girls and boys, young women and men with equal opportunities and experience
which enable them to develop knowledge, skills and competencies to play a full part
in all aspects of society…”
Link between reality and project
This project is a key element of DYS programme of activities for the period 2009-
2011. It is part of the work priority “social cohesion and inclusion of young people”
which has the following objectives:
3.1 Youth work and youth policy responses to social precariousness and exclusion of
young people and children, promoting access of young people to social rights
3.2 Non-formal education/learning as a means of facilitating the social inclusion of
young people and children
3.3 Supporting young people’s autonomy, health and well-being and access to
decent living conditions
3
3.4 The role of youth work and youth policy in promoting intergenerational dialogue
and solidarity
A two-year project
Aim
The two-year project aims at “developing youth policy responses to exclusion,
discrimination and violence affecting young people in multicultural disadvantaged
neighbourhoods”. It is seen as a vehicle to develop the impact of non-formal
education interventions in relation to the social rights of young people on European,
national and local youth policy realities.
Objectives
The objectives defined for the project are the following:
• To address situations of conflict and exclusion of young people living in
multicultural environments through non-formal education and youth work
projects;
• To develop conceptual and practical means of translating intercultural
dialogue into the realities of youth work;
• To explore and identify means for innovative youth work projects with young
people at risk of exclusion and violence;
• To initiate, support and evaluate up to thirty innovative pilot projects with a
high multiplier effect across Europe;
• To address situations of exclusion, conflict and violence affecting young
people through partnerships between youth work, youth policy and local
authorities;
• To consolidate results of the “all different – all equal” European youth
campaign in relation to diversity, participation and human rights.
Steps/ activities
A consultative meeting on the project took place in the beginning of March 2009 in
Budapest to set a clearer framework to the project, review the current needs and
issues related to the project aims, take stock of already existing initiatives, define the
overall approach and develop an operational model for the planning and
implementation. Finally, a network of potential partners for the project was
established. A detailed report of the meeting with its concrete results and
recommendations is available.
The project will do so primarily through a long term training course (LTTC) that will
prepare and support youth workers and youth leaders working in disadvantaged
neighbourhoods with young people who face difficulties in exercising their social
human rights. The course will develop their skills and competencies in setting up
projects for integration and in sharing them with colleagues across Europe.
Each participant will be asked to develop a concrete project with young people,
based on active participation, intercultural learning and human rights education.
These projects will also provide the practical basis for learning about how to promote
social rights of young people and how to best use youth research for youth policy
action.
4
The experience gained from participants’ projects will serve as a basis for the
development of policy recommendations on the access of young people to social
rights.
A seminar on gender equality in youth projects in May 2010 will continue the
work done by the Directorate of Youth and Sports on gender “matters” and gender
based violence, with a special focus on gender equality in disadvantaged
neighbourhoods. Some participants of other activities within the ENTER project might
be invited.
A consultative meeting on youth information and councelling will look at the
access to information for young people and youth workers in disadvantaged
neighbourhoods. The meeting will take place in May 2010 and links will be made with
the LTTC through some projects of participants or by inviting some participants to
join.
An expert seminar on new ways of participation in multicultural youth work will
take place in June 2010 and focus on the participation of young people from
disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Some participants of the LTTC might be invited to
participate in the seminar.
A joint seminar with DGIII Social Cohesion and the Congress of Local and Regional
Authorities in Europe (CLRAE) will be organised in November 2010 on the access of
young people to social rights, with a focus on youth policy approaches and
responses. This seminar should contribute to the development of a concrete policy
document taking into account the overall project results.
An internet site and e-learning platform will allow for communication between
project leaders and young people during the project implementation and evaluation.
.
The participants in the long-term training course and their institutional partners will
also be associated to other activities of the programme of the Directorate of Youth
and Sport related to Social Inclusion, hence increasing the possibilities for further
learning from the project and for a better integration between educational and policy
dimensions of the project.
Partners involved
In order to ensure a multi-sectorial approach to the project, various stakeholders and
partners will be involved. A direct cooperation with the Congress of Local and
Regional Authorities in Europe will ensure the support of local authorities in the
project implementation phase of participants, and the experience of the Directorate of
Social Cohesion of the Council of Europe will be taken into account..
The statutory organs of the youth sector attach great importance to the issue of
social cohesion and inclusion. They will be naturally involved in all phases of the
development of the project as well as in the monitoring and evaluation.
The European Youth Foundation could possibly fund individual pilot projects.
The European Youth Forum could contribute to the preparation and evaluation of the
project, also through the input of researchers etc.
The Salto Youth Resource Centre on Inclusion and on Participation, as well as the
National Agencies of the Youth in Action programme of the European Commission
5
may also be involved in the support and funding of participants’ projects and in the
dissemination of results,.
A reference group for the further development, monitoring and evaluation of the
project has been established, bringing together the different stakeholders of the
project at European level, including youth researchers and youth workers.
It is expected that this model of steering and monitoring the project may also be
applied at local level in the participants projects, hence enhancing the importance of
inter-sectorial and inter-disciplinary cooperation for reaching meaningful and
sustainable results.
The long term training course
The LTTC aims to make a significant contribution to combating social exclusion of
young people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods through the empowerment of youth
workers and leaders to develop and carry out social and human rights oriented
projects that create synergies with authorities responsible for making and
implementing policies addressed at concerned communities.
The course will develop the participants’ skills and competencies in setting up
projects for integration and in sharing them with colleagues across Europe. In view of
this, the participants/youth workers will receive training on:
- Project planning and project management cycles;
- Needs-based youth policy approaches and their applicability in youth work;
- Intercultural learning and its applicability in local youth work;
- Management of cultural diversity with youth groups;
- Integrated policy approaches to local youth projects, in particular in relation to
the development of partnerships with various institutions and partners
concerned by youth policy and youth work at local and regional level;
- Non-formal learning and its role in promoting the autonomy and social
integration of young people;
- Conflict transformation with young people;
- Developing democratic and participatory approaches with young people;
- Communication and presentation skills;
- Networking and negotiation skills;
- Fund-raising and financial management;
- European youth programmes and policies (Council of Europe and European
Commission).
Each participant will be asked to develop a concrete project with young people.
A first residential meeting will take place in September 2009. The project work will take
place between the two residential training seminars. The second seminar will take
place in September 2010 in Budapest. A final evaluation seminar will close down the
LTTC at the end of the project, probably at the beginning of 2011.

L'objectif est double.
L'objectif est double.
D'une part l'activité contribuera à la formation d'une future société civile solide et efficace aussi bien à l'intérieur des pays qu'au niveau international. D'autre part, elle vise à renforcer la dynamique en faveur de la jeunesse en célébrant avec les jeunes, des valeurs universelles pour les inciter à se reconnaître dans le projet de construction planétaire.
Plus précisément, l'École d'été de la Francophonie 2009, vise à développer chez vous, jeunes francophones des aptitudes pour :
- mieux vous insérer dans un réseau de partage d'informations pour le développement durable,
- identifier les occasions offertes par les agrégats « Droits de l'homme », « environnement », « Technologie de l'Information et de la Communication » et « entreprenariat social » en termes de gisements d'emplois et de domaines d'actions citoyennes ;
- s'inscrire dans la chaîne d'impacts socio-économiques en réalisant des actions de développement sociétal.
Parmi ces jeunes, figurera 05 jeunes reporters qui couvriront l'événement. Ils auront pour mission de produire des reportages sur les activités, les ateliers et sur tout ce qui gravitera dans les coulisses de l'École d'été.

About Me
- BUÉ FIXE
- Bué Fixe é um grupo e uma rede informal de jovens-migrantes africanos com origens nos PALOP. O grupo começou quando resolveram criar uma revista com o mesmo nome em S.Tomé e Príncipe para sensibilizar os Jovens para os riscos do VIH/Sida porque, tanto no país (S. Tomé e Príncipe) quanto em Portugal, os Jovens Africanos não se interessam pelo material de prevenção do VIH/Sida que existe, porque vê-se que é dirigido a Jovens europeus, de classe média, com linguagem muito técnica, pouco acessível e afastada da nossa realidade.
