"Learning to Act"
International Workshop in Georgia
The first meeting of the project group was where we learned about local activities and explored the method of simulation games. Alongside young people, local youth policy stakeholders were invited to participate in the event. The working methods included group work, discussions, brainstorming, study visits, teambuilding, getting-to-know-each-other activities, reflection groups, simulations, case studies, etc. (all methods were based on the NFE principles). The aims were to get to know the project team better, to explore local activism, its challenges, and bright examples, and to learn about simulation games as a learning method and the principles of their development.
"Local Meetings: exploring the local realities"
(Funchal, Sumy, and Ozurgeti)
These are the parallel events taking place at the same period of time in three countries. During these events, the participants will explore the realities and existing mechanisms of the local youth policy development. The local youth policy stakeholders will also take part in these events. Methods: study visits, round tables, plenary and group discussions, interactive presentations, group work. Aims: to explore the realities of the local youth policy development processes in the communities of the project partners.
"Simulation games for school youth"
(Funchal, Sumy, and Ozurgeti)
These are the parallel events taking place at the same period of time in three countries. During these events, the participant will conduct simulation games for the local school youth (13—17 y.o.). Methods: simulation role-play game, plenary and group discussions. Aim: together with local young people explore the mechanisms of how the local youth policy development work; to motivate local young people to become more active on the local level. Another goal will be also to practice the developed role-play simulation games to be able to adjust them for future publication.
"Simulation games for adult youth"
(Funchal, Sumy, and Ozurgeti)
These are the parallel events taking place at the same period of time in three countries. During these events, the participant will conduct simulation games for the local youth (18—30 y.o.). Methods: simulation role-play game, plenary and group discussions. Aim: together with local young people explore the mechanisms of how the local youth policy development work; to motivate local young people to become more active on the local level.

"Got to Act Further"
International Evaluation Meeting in Portugal
Methods: group work and discussions, brainstorming, team building, reflection groups, case study, evaluation activities, etc (all methods are based on the NFE principles). Aims: to evaluate the participants' local activities; to finalize the manual; to plan further activities of young people; to plan project dissemination; to evaluate the whole project.
We are planning to involve the following local stakeholders from the municipalities of Sumy,
Funchal, and Ozurgeti:
- Representatives of the youth departments
- Representatives of the
youth centers and youth organisations
- Representatives of the youth councils.
They will be involved in all activities as participants of the international meetings and contribute
equally to the programme.
During the local meetings they will host study visits and take part in the discussions. During the development of the simulation games and the manual, they will provide consultational support to participants. Also, they will be invited as quest speakers to the simulation games for youth people . They will participate in the dissemination of the project results (manual) and will be involved in the further follow-up activities.
