Project description
The aim of the CUYouth project is to raise the profile of European youth work amongst students of youth work and social work. At three selected universities, modules are being developed in which students work alongside practitioners in the field of European youth work. This enables students to gain practical insights and experience, whilst those involved in European youth work have the opportunity to use the exchange with students as a space for learning and reflection.
The project develops and tests co-educational modules in which students, youth workers and lecturers learn together. Regional and international seminars, scenario-building sessions and futures-literacy methods are implemented. Learning communities are created, materials are uploaded to the online platform SALTO-HOP, and universities integrate European perspectives through joint module development. An education policy report and workshops and a conference will provide further impetus for the development of youth work.
Expected results are co-educational modules on future-readiness in youth work, strong regional and international learning communities, and freely accessible teaching materials on HOP. Students and youth workers will gain enhanced skills in future thinking and European cooperation, and the participating universities will strengthen the European dimension of their curricula as well as the connection between theory and practice in youth work education.
