Here you can find an overview of projects the Y.E.S. Forum was leading or involved in. 

Yo-Train 2008-2010

The Y.E.S. member Skellefteå kommun, department of leisure and recreation, is coordinating from 2008-2010 a project funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme, Leonardo da Vinici. Among other partners the Children’s Society and the Y.E.S. Forum itself are involved in this project, called Yo-Train. 

Yo-Train is based on the results of a previous project called Yo-Pro, youth work in progress, where training material for youth workers were developed. The purpose of the current project - Yo-Train - youth workers in training - is to design a consistent training concept linked to a method of recognising the non-formal learning occurring. 

The beneficiaries of the project are professional youth workers both in the sense that further training and skill enhancement programmes will be developed and improved and in the sense that the youth worker profession will be better defined in relation to the demands in the society. 

EuropeMobility 2008-2010

Run from 2008 - 2010, EuropeMobility aimed at contributing to raise the quantity and quality of mobility in European Vocational and Technical Education. It is the transfer of the findings and results of the MoVe-IT study, conducted by PriceWaterhouseCoopers for the European Commission.

Europemobility published a guid book on work placements abroad, established a community of practice with public and private organisations involved in and promoting mobility with the purpose of stimulating work placements abroad, promoting awareness among practitioners of good practices and adoption of European tools and quality marks for mobility and work placements abroad. It also launched a video contest for young people to present their expereinces during a placement abroad.

Europemobility is an initiative of CSCS and the project is composed by different stakeholders representing European networks of VET providers, VET Schools and mobility players, social and economic actors. The project partners are: CSCS, PwC, EfVET, IKASLAN, AVIVA and the Y.E.S. Forum.
