GEMS NI UK

Co-ordinator

Background

GEMS NI is a company limited by guarantee and charity registered in Northern /social enterprise organisation. Since our launch in 2002 we have developed and delivered best practice in employability/employment services and are recognised as delivering excellence in IAG and VET and our development of models of best practice in employability interventions that support long-term unemployed/economically inactive people and in particular marginalized and disadvantaged groups including lone parents, migrants, young people who are NEET, older people, people with disabilities and health conditions, who experience disadvantage in the labour market.

Experience in working with NEET Young People

In 2010 we undertook an analysis of the issues and challenges for young people who experienced complex barriers to engaging in education, employment or training. We engaged extensively with young people and young adults who could help us to understand their experience and the contributing factors leading to them disengaging from education/learning.

Quite simply we went on the road and asked! Holding focus groups with young people/young adults and finding out their views and experiences – the good the bad and the downright ugly! From this we were able to determine both the issues and challenges but also some of the positive aspects. These almost unanimously were reported as the people who provided encouragement and support - teachers, youth workers, peer support, sports, faith and many key people who made a difference to a young person.

It isn’t rocket science to work out that young people already struggling in the school environment were highly likely to continue to struggle after leaving. The answer for us was to design a programme that built on the one-to-one mentoring relationship

Instead of expecting the young person to negotiate their education or training pathway within a process-driven, timetabled structure, we would deconstruct this and create a journey planner that would respond to the individual needs of each young person.

The Mentor supports young person to “bank” their time across 4 Zones: Learning Life Leisure and Work and Develops a personal Action Plan with the young person that reflects their situation and context and the changing nature of this – starting where the young person is at. GEMS has delivered CO-MENT in NI since 2012 and currently delivers the model through ESF funding

Why we are participating in the ITER Project

GEMS NI wants to build on the CO-MENT model and the work of two previous Erasmus+ projects EC-YP led by GEMS NI which was to transfer the CO-MENT model to other European countries and Day Plot led by Antares which was focused on using gamification as a tool to support the integration and inclusion of new communities to European Countries. We want to work to develop ITER as a model to support NEET young people (using gamification) and to prepare them and their chosen VET organisation in the transition from customised assistance as a NEET young person to a successful transition to VET or another positive destination.

Our Expectations from our Involvement in the ITER Project

To engage with a collaborative partnership and build upon existing approaches for NEET young people and develop existing materials and resources and design new materials and resources that will support young people who are NEET including their transition to mainstream VET or another positive destination.

Desincoop Portugal

Background

DESINCOOP is a services provider cooperative, established in 2005. Its mission is to provide services in the areas of economic, social, educational and cultural initiatives.

The main activities are studies, consultancy, training, elaboration of projects, support for the creation and operation of Proximity Services and other cooperatives, social cultural and sport interventions.

Between 2006 and 2008 developed two studies about Social Economy sector. In one, developed at European level, wined three best practices (social responsibility, social marketing and work inclusion of people with disabilities).

Since 2008 Desincoop associated the participation in European programs (Leonardo and Grundtvig), to improve the skills of its collaborators, to internship opportunities for young licensees and / or looking for their first job. Also provided mobility experiences and training for other youngsters through the European Youth in Action Programme.

Between 2010 and 2012 was partner in a Grundtvig project “For the Shared Archaeology”, who intended to use archeology as a tool (a tool of all possible tools) for the rehabilitation of people with intellectual disabilities and other disadvantaged groups.

Between January, 2010 to December, 2011 Desincoop, in partnership with French and Italian organizations, developed the Project LUCUS within the PROGRESS programme of the European Union, which had as main areas of activity training in the fields of Construction / Rehabilitation, Agriculture, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Sustainable Transports, in the sense of rehabilitate extinct or endangered professions. LUCUS aspired to carry out experimentation in order to create qualified jobs for people in need and for people with disabilities. The main result of this project are the professional and inclusive courses running in Desincoop facilities until nowadays for people without qualifications.

Between 2012 and 2013 it was a partner in the Transnational Cooperation Against Violence project (Daphne Programme) aimed to increase knowledge and directly raise awareness among 15 institutions, 15 specialists and 15 social workers from the 3 working groups involved on different and innovative methods for preventing violence against children, young people and women. In Portugal, Desincoop approach was made through sport as a mean of awareness in the prevention of this problem. As a result of this project the cooperative established a strong cooperation with the coordination of the National Plan for Ethics in Sport. Desincoop members were trainers of the PNED / IPDJ and University of Values ​​/ LED on Values ​​networks and until the end of 2017 facilitated 90 minutes’ sessions about Sports values to around 900 students of School Cluster Francisco de Holanda.

In 2013 was a partner of the European Project CORE, which aimed to respond to the educational and social needs of Roma communities.

Between 2013 and 2014 was a promoter of a Training of Trainers in Gender Equality. Still in 2014 promoted training for unemployed assets, mostly belonging to the Roma community.

In 2015 was partner in Roma Genocide project (Europe for Citizens) which aimed to raise awareness of Roma genocide, stimulate critical thinking and debate among young and old people. At the local level 916 people participated in the exhibition, 259 in the debates (youth, teachers, seniors, trainers, facilitators and volunteers), 71 in the Human Library (students, teachers, testimonials and staff) and 60 in the Anti-Discrimination Bike.

The situation of Syrian refugees and other migrants and the need of a multisectorial approach at European level was identified by Desincoop members and other project participants in various projects taking place in Turkey and Italy mainly in Sicily. Some applications were proposed about human Rights, Discrimination and Tolerance under Youth in Action later Erasmus+. In 2015 Desincoop hosted the project Art in Action during which several activities about the humanitarian crisis were developed in our city ending in a Final Exhibition. In 2017 Desincoop accept the invitation to participate in LEI project promoted by Antares and financed by Erasmus + and also in one Europe For Citizen project ISLA, about refugees and the strategies to host them. Both projects were approved and will end in 2019.

Regarding other main Desincoop interests they are all focused in the running project Work Inclusion also financed by Erasmus+. The main aim of this project is the exchange of best practices and knowledge on workplace inclusion between mentors working with people with disabilities, mainly women.

Experience in working with NEET Young People

In 2005 Desincoop prepared with local partners the first application to a four years’ project to identify and develop a program for NEET. Unfortunately, after the approval by national authorities the new local political elected did not accepted the implementation of the project arguing that this subject was not a priority. The levels of school leaving in our region were among the highest in Europe.

In 2010, it was a cooperative priority to create a network of young volunteers. Between 2010 and 2017 the main strategy was using Youth in Action/Erasmus + projects to attract NEET to non-formal activities and later influence them to return to education or training according their individual situation. In total Desincoop had more than 300 participants in these projects.

In 2012 together with an Italian partner prepared an application to Progress Program about the not well known phenomenon of NEET but was not accepted. In 2013 the same partners tried again a Leonardo project also not approved.

In the same year and again in 2014 and 2015 Desincoop presented applications to the Portuguese governmental programme for national projects related with Roma people and other persons in disadvantage situation called Choices (in portuguese Escolhas). In both applications at national level Desincoop was classified immediately above the last project approved. These projects aimed, in general terms, to work with young people in situations of social exclusion, with difficulties in accessing their first job, stable, contracted. The problems that were sought to solve with these projects were related to the constant stereotypes and prejudices that exist in relation to the population residing in social neighborhoods, to the Roma in particular, in the access to the labor market. Associated with the profile of these young people were many in situations of dropping out of school or lack of interest and devaluation of competences acquired in the context of formal learning, which in turn leads them to vacate. Existing offers of socially useful occupation or training take into account their low qualifications, but do not meet their interests.

Since 2013 DESINCOOP is accredited as sending and hosting organization on European Voluntary Service.

In 2015 stablished a partnership with the biggest school Cluster of the County with which Desincoop works with students in risk of School leaving developing non formal activities and specific project, the issues of Social Responsibility, Equality, Volunteering, Prevention of Violence and Sustainable Development marked the agenda of activities. Students are directly involved in the commemoration of the European Mobility Week, in the commemorations of the Orange Day, “There are Fair”, Living Library, Awareness Actions: celebration and dynamism of "25th November – The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women". Still in the ambit of this partnership Vocational students do internships at Desincoop that supports them on pre- Professional activities. During Summer some of these students develop volunteer activities and the planning for the school year activities is prepared by them and they lead specific projects during the school year 2018/ 2019 they linked all project under an umbrella project “We are all civil protection”.

Why we are participating in the ITER Project

Since mandatory education change to 12 years and 18 age more students stay at school without motivation and they finish at 18th without finishing the 12 years. We expect to find them again in a few years, without jobs or in vulnerable jobs because they are not qualified. More and more we have in our training courses young people that are in this situation and they have in professional courses the same behavior they had in the education system: lack of motivation and they start courses and interrupt and return again to a new one never finishing what they start.

Our Expectations from our Involvement in the ITER Project

The biggest expectation is learning with other experiences and find innovative methods to work with young people not only in school, where they are in risk but later giving guidance and support in order they return to training or to the work market with a project for their lives.

Békés County Government Office Hungary

Background

On 1st January 2011 as the legal successor of the county’s public administration body, and through the partial integration of the majority of the territorial state administration bodies, the government office was established as the top authority of territorial state administration. The government office harmonises and enhances the implementation of government tasks on territorial level – according to rules of law and government decisions. The Government Office for Békés County is made up of the core office directly managed by the government commissioner and 9 district offices. The Government Office of Békés County’s Department of Social Security and Employment and its divisions of employment – which operate within district offices – play a key role in improving the labour market situation in the county, enhancing employment, in preventing and moderating unemployment. As a state organisation it has been offering labour market services, employment fostering support, and operating complex labour market programmes both for employers and job-seekers since 1991. It is a task of key importance for the organisation to satisfy the demand of employers with a labour-force having the appropriate skills and qualifications and to have job-seekers employed within the shortest period of time. For many years now the department has been implementing various projects in national and international cooperation aiming to develop a VET system better tailored to economic needs and to foster employment.

Experience in working with NEET Young People

The Department helps the employment of career starters and youngsters with its special programmes. One of the major target groups of its Economic Development and Innovation Operational Programme 5.2.1. entitled ‘Youth Guarantee Programme’ is that of the career starters and young people under the age of 25. In the Youth Guarantee Programme – launched in 2015 – young people under the age of 25 are also helped in employment with tailor-made services, supports and allowances related to training and entrepreneurship. The guarantee programme helped roughly 58 thousand young people between 2015 and 2017.

The Department has wide experience in implementing national and international projects in the fields of VET, career guidance, entrepreneurship and in improving the employment situation. One of its recently finished Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships projects entitled ‘Work-based Learning in CVET’. The main aim of the project is to develop in an international cooperation a complex methodology applicable in the CVET (continuing VET) of adults concerning work-based learning, based on Finnish, German and Italian models. In the context of the cooperation the international partnership implementing the project aims to develop a complex methodology that is going to be well applicable in each member country of the European Union, it is going to be in line with European Union efforts, and it will be worked out according to the quality requirements identified by the EQAVET working group.

There are several other programmes (central labour market programmes and operational programmes) running in parallel with the ones mentioned above that are aimed at helping the target group with various types of counselling, mentoring and mediation services as well as providing them with targeted trainings.

A new so called ‘reform’ programme was also launched in our region in July 2019 according to a ministry decision with the aim of improving the efficiency of employment departments. Efficiency should be improved via establishing a personal relation and contact with job seekers from all age groups – the aim is to survey employer demands and make a close connection between the potential employee and employer. As a result of the new model (originating from Germany), 2.308 clients have been contacted and become employed from our county.

Our Expectations from our Involvement in the ITER Project

Besides collecting, testing the best practices and measuring their impacts, it is another added value of our project activities that the further development of the so called ‘4-zone model’ seen as a good practice in Ireland and tested, among others, in Hungary as well could be further developed in our system of tools.

We expect to learn a lot, to have our staff members enriched with new knowledge on the topic and to improve our everyday work.
