Deadline: May 28, 2014
The EU-CoE youth partnership calls experts for drafting analytical papers on barriers to social inclusion for young people in vulnerable situations.
The purpose of such project is to develop knowledge based resources that will improve initiatives aiming at ensuring young people’s access to rights and at providing them with opportunities to equally engage in the society. The outcomes of the project are two analytical papers. The first should present a concise framework about the current knowledge on the barriers limiting access to social rights of young people in vulnerable situations. The variety of situations is limited in the situation in Member States. The second paper should analyse good examples of practice in youth work and youth policy in overcoming the identified barriers.
Experts will form a reflection group to discuss the provisional findings of the mapping and proposed examples of good practice. After this reflection experts will propose their conclusions and recommendations during an expert seminar.
Benefits:
- The Mapping will be conducted in 32 expert days. Experts will receive a daily fee of 260 euros. 16 expert days can be allocated for the analysis of good examples of practice (at least 12 examples with their analysis in total).
