SUDJELOVALI SMO NA GODIŠNJEM SASTANKU TRENERA!

Tijekom 7. ožujka 2024. godine Domagoj Morić, sudjelovao je na Godišnjem sastanku trenera AMPEU-a, kao član bazena trenera Agencije.

 

Sastanak je bio organiziran s ciljem dijeljenja novosti u sklopu programa Erasmus+ i Europske snage solidarnosti, kao što su i pojšanjene nove aktivnosti te novosti vezane za rad s bazom trenera.

Godišnji sastanak bio je odlična prilika za ponovni susret trenera aktivnim u radu s mladima i volonterima, a osim logističkih detalja, sastanak je sadržavao i predstavljanje nove Integralne verzije Osposobljavanja na početku službe za volontere u programu Europskih snaga solidarnosti. Osim toga, dijelila su se i iskustva s edukacija i treninga, poput trenera za trenere, TEC Foruma te sličnih edukacija važnih za svakodnevni rad trenera.

Događaj je bio odličan moment za ponovno povezivanje s drugim trenerima te ćemo sve naučeno koristiti u daljnjem radu s Agencijom te unutar naše organizacije.

WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE COMMUNICATION OF THE CONFERENCE “VALUE AND RECOGNITION OF YOUTH WORK”

WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE COMMUNICATION OF THE CONFERENCE “VALUE AND RECOGNITION OF YOUTH WORK”

We helped to shape the communication and visibility for the Conference “Value and Recognition of Youth Work”, which happened in Zagreb from 4 to 7 December 2023.

DOMAS was selected, among all applications, to digitally support the Conference “Value and Recognition of Youth Work”, which happened in Zagreb, Croatia, from 4 to 7 December 2023. We were responsible for communication on social media (Instagram and Facebook), but also in creating the articles before and after the Conference, which tackle the topic of recognition in youth work.

 

The Conference was organised by Jugend fur Europa (German National Agency) and Agencija za mobilnost i programe EU (Croatian National Agency), with the aim of creating more recognition in the youth work sector. It also needs to be mentioned that this conference was a part of a larger process of recognition of youth work which we call the Boon Process. More about the Bonn Process and European Youth Work Agenda can be found here: https://www.bonn-process.net/.

 

The Conference gathered around 90 participants and during the two days discussed the recognition aspect in youth work on all four levels: self-recognition, social recognition, political recognition and formal recognition. Participants have also created messages around recognition that will be shared on social media.

CAN WE DO IT? YES, WE CAN! – REPORT FROM THE TRAINING COURSE ON USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN YOUTH WORK

CAN WE DO IT? YES, WE CAN! – REPORT FROM THE TRAINING COURSE ON USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN YOUTH WORK

From 5 – 8 July 2022, we have had the opportunity to facilitate and lead the training course “DO IT in Youth Work” for 22 youth workers, which was organised by Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes in Croatia.

DO IT in Youth Work training course was organised by Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes (National Agency for Erasmus+ Programme), within the Training and Cooperation Activities.

 

Digital youth work today is important more than ever – we use digital media and new technology to enhance youth development. Digital youth work, as stated in different documents, is used to describe work that can happen in face-to-face situations, social and group settings as well as in online environments – or in a mixture of these. It is relevant to all youth work pedagogies and can enhance all types of practice. New generation of youth, born into the 21st century, grew up with technology all around them. While youth workers learned how to use digital tools in the Corona pandemic, there is a still relevant gap missing. Therefore, the main goal of the training course was to educate youth workers in methods and tools necessary for development of digital competencies of young people.

 

During this training course, participants had the opportunity to learn more about the digital youth work, digital safety, STEM education and how to use different tools, such as LEGO and 3D printing in their work. The training course was intended for youth workers who are on the beginning of their professional path and want to gain new knowledge in the field of digital youth work.

 

And what’s more important – participants were quite diverse – 22 of them came from 13 different countries: Croatia, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and Germany.

 

The training was led by our Domagoj Moric, who has extensive knowledge in the field of youth and is quite versatile in the topic of digital tools and digital youth work. It has to be mentioned that the idea for the training course came from Maja Katinić Vidović, a professional trainer and IT expert (Wizard & DOMAS Pool of Experts). Also, a significant part of the training was co-led with Ivan Decker from Gradionica. The training course was a success and participants were happy with the acquired knowledge and skills, as well as the important contacts they have created.

 

We would like to thank all participants, but also Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes for providing trust in us to deliver this training course!

DOMAS REPRESENTATIVE PART OF THE CROATIAN DELEGATION FOR THE YOUTH WORK RECOVERY CONFERENCE IN FINLAND!

DOMAS REPRESENTATIVE PART OF THE CROATIAN DELEGATION FOR THE YOUTH WORK RECOVERY CONFERENCE IN FINLAND!

From 13 to 16 June 2022, DOMAS was part of Croatian delegation for the Youth Work Recovery Conference! Besides active participation, we have co-facilitated one part of the event, which was dealing with recommendations to recover youth work!

The Youth Work Recovery Conference happened from June 13 to 16, 2022 in Helsinki, Finland and brought policy, practice and research together to discuss the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and crisis on the field of youth work (and its respective actors) across Europe. The conference explored the evidence on the need for support of youth work in Europe, on the one hand, and the available support options for youth work in Europe, on the other hand. Therefore, gaps in existing support measures as well as specific and concrete mechanisms needed (in addition to existing ones) were identified. Another objective was to discuss the role of the European youth programmes in strengthening post-pandemic support of youth work.

 

Participants worked on developing clear actions for relevant actors on how the post-pandemic support and development of youth work can be improved, strengthened and widened across Europe and beyond. A drafting group supported the process by summarizing and contextualizing the work done by the participants.

 

The Croatian delegation was consisted of the following persons: Marina Maričić (Central State Office of Demography and Youth), Marijana Pavlić (Ministry of Health), Domagoj Morić (DOMAS) and Sanja Posavec and Valerie Posavec (Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes).

 

Besides active participation in the conference, our Domagoj was co-facilitator of the whole event and had a workshop with a group of participants on developing recommendations for the future action plan.

In the following period, the final ‘Beyond Recovery Action Plan 2030’ will be developed and will refer to a wider perspective (going ‘beyond recovery’) – thus, having the pandemic and its effects as a starting point for a wider discussion on systemic issues and different emerging crises. Stay tuned to find out more soon! And you can see some of the thematic areas on the graphic recording above!

 

The Youth Work Recovery Conference was co-hosted by the National Agencies of the European youth programmes from Finland (host), Croatia, Germany, France, Portugal and Slovenia (co-hosts) as well as co-financed by Movetia (Swiss agency for exchange and mobility).

WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CO-ORGANISED THE ROUND TABLE “CONFLICT DIVORCES” FOR KRAPINA-ZAGORJE COUNTY IN CROATIA

WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CO-ORGANISED THE ROUND TABLE “CONFLICT DIVORCES” FOR KRAPINA-ZAGORJE COUNTY IN CROATIA

As a service providers for the Krapina-Zagorje County, we are implementing the series of round tables within the project “Novi Početak” (eng. New Beginning), with an aim to establish a shelter for women who are victims of (domestic) abuse.

Round table “Conflict divorce” was held on May 14, 2022 in the Main Hall of City of Klanjec. The aim of the round table was to inform experts about the about the characteristics of conflict divorces, the impact of parental conflict on children, and providing specific guidelines for counseling work with parents and children in conflict divorce.

 

During the round table, over 40 experts from social welfare centers and social welfare homes, experts from educational institutions, health institutions and civil society organizations had the opportunity to discuss how to act in cases of conflict divorces.

 

The round table was organised as part of the project ‘New beginning’, which was submitted to Call UP.02.2.11 ‘Ensuring a support system for women victims of violence and victims of domestic violence’, which is financed by the European Union through the European Social Fund as part of the Operational Program “Effective Human Resources 2014-2020”.

 

DOMAS was subcontracted to help in providing organisation support, which includes drafting the call, sending calls, organising the speakers/lecturers, ensuring smooth facilitation, and other practicalities. This round table was second from seven round tables which will be happening throughout 2022 and 2023.

 

Thanks to Krapina-Zagorje County for recognising us as trusted partners and we are happy to work on this crucial topic with them!
