Blended mobility

Blended mobility for young people (Pärnu, Estonia) 6 participants per partner

9.-17. 02. 2024

The blended mobility of young people (BM) (C1) responded to the main objective of piloting the Online toolkit (PR4) and provided proper assessment and feedback on it, in view of its official release and use in youth non-formal settings. The BM (C1) was used for course content evaluation and for refining the activities and exercises to adapt them to the target group characteristics and to identify any unforeseen implementation problems. The daily agenda and activities of participants were very intensive and were organized in a way that allowed them to go through all the e-learning units that made up the PR4. The BM (C1) happened in two phases (online and physical mobility):

- In the first phase (6 weeks), which was run online, each partner involved five young people aged 15-19 years old, who had to go through all the e-learning units of the toolkit and report their impressions, issues, and feedback to their teacher. After this first phase of piloting and the feedback received, the different activities inside each e-learning unit were refined if necessary. For each national group, a representative of each partner, along with the youth worker who served as the accompanying person for the group during the physical BM, assisted the young people during the online piloting.

- In the second phase (7 days + 2 travel days), which was conducted through physical blended mobility in Estonia hosted by RNUN, the young people who participated in the first pilot phase, along with one youth worker per partner (who served as the accompanying person), were involved in face-to-face intensive workshops. During these workshops, they were able to experiment with the new concepts, implement the knowledge gained from the toolkit activities at a more complex level, interact freely, and participate in joint activities. After this second phase of piloting and the feedback received, the different activities inside each e-learning unit were refined if necessary.

At the end of the BM, participants were asked to answer a questionnaire that was used by project partners for further improving the project and the educational mission of the consortium. After the BM, partners, together with participants, evaluated the effectiveness of the BM.

At the end of the training, participants received the Youthpass certificate, which was also presented during the first day of mobility activities.
