November 4 2022, 15.00 – 18.00 CET / 16.00 – 19.00 EET
A hybrid event taking place online and in Rhodes, Greece.
November 2022 marks four years into the implementation of the research project YOUTHShare. After years of combined and intensive research, analysis and social intervention, the project reaches a turning point in which it highlights the best practices and furthers their implementation. The aim of the Open Event is twofold; i) to invite other projects and policymakers to assess the results of the project, and, most importantly, to discuss its successes and shortcomings and ii) to critically reflect upon what more needs to be done against youth unemployment and disengagement.
During those years YOUTHShare implemented a multi-scalar methodology and tested the effectiveness of close cooperation between the Transnational Research Network and the agile Transnational Employment Centre in bringing about new knowledge and support to young NEETs (Not in Employment Education or Training). The Open Event will be an attempt to ascertain the validity of the project’s achievements and examine that achievements’ potential for scalability.
In order to present a comparative assessment and create further synergies, other projects funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Youth Employment are invited. The representatives of these projects along with scholars and staff from the Labour Geography Research Lab, Department of Geography, University of the Aegean will offer new insights and tested suggestions on how to reduce the NEET rates in regions of the EU South and beyond.
The Open Event is organised with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports – Dodecanese Ephorate of Antiquities and is part of the events for the European Year of Youth.
