Background to the Preparatory Seminar
The next phase of the Enter! project is now in its inception stage. A Long-Term Training Course for Youth Workers on Promoting Access to Social Rights for All Young People (hereinafter, LTTC) will be initiated at the beginning of 2013. In order to prepare the training course, the Youth Department is organising a preparatory seminar in Strasbourg, 18 – 20 September 2012. The preparatory seminar will bring together a variety of stakeholders, partners and actors in the field of youth policy and youth work, such as youth organisations, representatives of local and national institutions and authorities, youth researchers, youth workers and trainers. The seminar will be organised jointly by the Youth Department and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe.
Aims and Objectives of the Seminar
The seminar aims to define the role, methodology and partners of the LTTC as a strategic investment of the Enter! project, by engaging in the development of the LTTC strategic partners from the civil society and local and national authorities.
The preparatory seminar objectives are:
• To review current needs related to the access of young people to social rights;
• To review the results of the first phase of the Enter! project, in particular from the evaluation of the LTTC, and draw conclusions for the future steps;
• To identify and learn from youth work initiatives and projects related to enhancing access to social rights for young people, in view of further defining the training course;
• To define the course main features, namely approaches and types of interventions, expected outcomes, educational approaches, main support measures for the course, profile of participants, promotion and visibility, and evaluation features;
