CONCEPT
Youth unemployment has been a problem in Europe for a long time, but it took a particularly bad
development with the economic crisis following the credit crunch of 2008.
Even though economic observers claim economic recovery for large parts of Europe, the
unemployment rates of young people are still double as high as those of the general population.
In this context, civil society organisations play a crucial role to support the integration of young
people into the labour market by using various educational and informational support measures.
The PBA is part of a 22-months project “YEES – Building local capacities for Youth
Employability and Entrepreneurial Skills” which aims to build sustainable capacities for youth
employability and entrepreneurial skill development in BiH and MNE for local youth
stakeholders by pursuing the following

Your coordination team
How can we make Erasmus+ projects greener? How can we implement eco-friendly practises in our residential projects? What are other organisations already doing in this field? With those and many other questions in mind, MeOut decided to participate in this KA2 project in order to find some answers, and after a lot of working we are ready to present to the world the magic of #ECOrasmus, a project we hope will deliver us many great things.
MeOut Group is part of the project #ECOrasmus alongside with our partners of European Intercultural Forum e.V., Fundació Catalunya Voluntària, Graphistes de l’Ombre and The Tree Party, organizations based in Germany, Spain, France and Netherlands. Amongst other things, we are conducting a research together in which we are inviting stakeholders in the field of European Youth Work to share their views, opinions and experiences. Through questionnaires, interviews and focus-groups we try to learn about eco-friendly (best) practices in residential youth work activities. And gather ideas and tips for the better.
In essence, the project promotes quality and innovation in youth work through strengthening organisational capacities to implement sustainable and eco-friendly youth projects and to trigger a multi-stakeholder European dialogue on eco-friendly practices in youth work. With all the research and the work we are doing we expect to publish a handbook on eco-friendly practices in educational youth work with which we expect to inspire other organizations and people. We will keep you updated about the news of this fantastic project and also when we publish the handbook.
