Erasmus +: CAPACITY BUILDING IN THE FIELD OF YOUTH
This project is a Capacity building project in the field of youth. Capacity-building projects are international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of youth in Programme and third countries not associated to the Programme. They aim to support the international cooperation and policy dialogue in the field of youth and non-formal learning, as a driver of sustainable socio-economic development and well-being of youth organisations and young people.

This project aims to:
Many young people in Palestine and Jordan face challenges in finding proper skills training and decent work in a safe environment allowing them to actively participate in society and connect to the labour market. The project addresses these issues through targeted capacity building in entrepreneurial skills training for organizations in Palestine (Sharek Youth Forum) and Jordan (Jordan River Foundation). The aim is to indirectly contribute to a more resilient, motivated, and competent labor force, while also fostering self-employment and job creation.
Throughout the project, 32 youth workers from beneficiary organizations are chosen as master trainers and trained to subsequently train youth workers across Palestine and Jordan. They will acquire the skills needed to work with the Arab Entrepreneurship Competence Framework (EntreComp), a unique tool designed to cultivate resilience, initiative, and collaboration skills tailored to the specific context.
The chosen master trainers will subsequently train 24 youth trainers in entrepreneurship skills for young people. These newly trained youth trainers will then extend their outreach to disadvantaged youths in their communities, who will be the final beneficiaries of the entrepreneurship skills development activities. The training sessions will incorporate innovative digital methods, including Virtual and Augmented reality. In total, 80 youths will undergo EntreComp training via interactive VR scenarios.
