Closure of the JobNet project

The "JobNet- Active citizens combating youth unemployment" project is supported by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency(EACEA) . In the framework of the project Carpathian Foundation-Hungary as a lead partner  closely cooperated with  civil organizations   from  Czech Republic, Croatia, , Germany, Latvia and  Slovakia.

The main goal of the project was to highlight and promote innovative bottom-up solutions Europe-wide aimed at combating youth unemployment.The main objective of the JobNet  project was to build a transfrontier network of non- governmental organization  to identify, share, discuss and encourage initiatives successfully tackling youth unemployment in different European countries which can be deployed in other EU states as well.

The transfrontier network of wide stakeholders explored the background of the problem by conducting a comparative international audiovisual research in the respective countries.The research was executed  from February, 2012-  to November, 2014.The project intended to involve unemployed youth as actives citizens following the principle:“Nothing about us, without us”.

At an international conference in November,2013 in Eger participants from 17 countries presented. They exchanged information, knowledge on successfully applied practices handling youth unemployment, e.g. entrepreneurship, skill development, internships, guidance&mentoring, combating early school-leaving, youth banks and youth involvement, empowerment techniques.The network would  serve as a platform and resource-base to disseminate practices how to help young jobseekers to understand labour market, economic and job crisis, and methods of pioneering solutions to stimulate job growth and job seeking techniques.

Although there was no research conducted in Poland , we could invite the  representatives of the  European Cooperation Centre and Polish experts  to get a wider picture of the situation and best practices there -with the support of the International Visegrad Fund www.visegradfund.org.
 

As the closure of the project  we published  DVD, and  publication containing  the situation and the best practices of the 6 countries. These along with a commonly formulated recommendation will be sent to decision/policy makers of the respective countries and EU besides wide range dissemination to the public and actors affected by, interested in the increasing tendency of youth joblessness.
