RISE for common systems for documentation of youth work and non-formal learning
Key Action: Erasmus+ project KA2, Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
Field: Strategic partnerships for youth
Partners: Romania, Ireland, Sweden and Estonia
Project dates: 1st January 2015-31st December 2016
Summary;
RISE is a Strategic partnership project within the Erasmus+ programme aimed to develop common systems for documentation of youth work and non-formal learning. It was applied by KEKS Sweden and granted by the Swedish National Agency. The partners in the project are Romania County Direction for Sport and Youth Hunedoara, Ireland City of Dublin Youth Service, Sweden Keks Network and Estonia Association of Estonian Open Youth Centres. The project will be implemented 1st of January 2015-31st of December 2016.
The basis of development of a learning organization is the ability to compare what you have been doing with the results obtained. The first thing you have to have in place in order to do this is a well-structured system for documentation of the key aspects of work – what (amount and content), when and how it is done. Today no such system related to youth work exists on a European or even national level. The web-based system for documentation, ”the Log book”, that KEKS has developed, is such a system that gathers both statistics and analyses of youth work. The system is unique and has met great interest both in our partner countries and throughout Europe.
The project’s partners now have a common ambition to create a common digital system for documentation of youth work. Our first project idea, to translate and adjust the Log book so that it is applicable in our partner countries would be of great value for the enhancement of youth work quality in the cooperating countries. But furthermore the use of the same system for documentation in four countries would open up great possibilities for comparing youth work practice and exchange best practices on common grounds among the partners – it would be a great vehicle for mutual learning.
The work will consist of on-line meetings, transnational meetings, developing of national working groups, developing a common web platform and a user manual and of thorough dissemination events in each of the participating countries.
