From the 5th to the 13th of July 2014, in Palermo the training course “KNOW, a call to develop youth skills” will be implemented, funded with the support of the European Commission, under the Youth in Action Programme, Action 4.3.
It will involve 40 participants from Italy, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany,Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and UK.
The project addresses the critical issue of youth unemployment and in Europe. The European context for youth unemployment is as critical as the unemployment rate in EU27 (for youth under 25) was 22.7% in December 20121. When considering the NEETs (Not in Employment, Education or Training), 12.9% of youth is concerned, which means 7,5 million persons all over Europe.
KNOW, by bringing together participants from different countries, will promote good practices and cooperation in strategies related to youth employment. Participants, through non formal education methods, will acquire tools and method to promote youth employability, and disseminate the urgent need for skills among the youth. They will get a greater awareness of opportunities offered by the new Erasmus+ programme but not only, with a special focus on the Youth Guarantee Initiative.
On Sunday 6th July and on Tuesday 8th July, starting from 8 p.m. at Al Convento di Baida (Via al Convento di Baida, 34), we invite the community to visit our intercultural evenings to know and share food, culture and music from participants’ country. Take a chance to open up your horizons and meet new cultures!
