Rebeca Hwang celý život žonglovala s identitami - a po dlouhou dobu nemohla najít ve světě místo, kterému by mohla říkat domov.
S touto výzvou však přišlo také stěžejní uvědomění, že rozmanité pozadí je v dnešním globálním světě výraznou výhodou.

The power of diversity within yourself
Rebeca Hwang has spent a lifetime juggling identities -- Korean heritage, Argentinian upbringing, education in the United States -- and for a long time she had difficulty finding a place in the world ...Prečítajte si krátku esej o priebehu tréningového kurzu Build Your Future v Rumunsku od našej účastníčky Lenky!

Unemployment is a huge problem in European countries with Slovakia not being an exception. A special group of unemployed people consists of „NEETs“, which are young people who are not employed, in education or in training. NEETs have a hard time entering the job market with little or no experience and lot of the times, no college degree or higher education. It was this group, to whom the „Association Be You“ dedicated the Erasmus plus 8 day youth mobility in Targoviste, Romania.
In this project, there have been youth workers from eight different European countries, each having four representatives. When compared to other teams from other countries, the Slovakian team was pretty young and less experienced in this field, but very motivated to participate and gain as much knowledge and techniques as possible, that they will be able to use on their new journey as youth workers. The experience our team had to offer in the training was for instance Zuzka and Lenka from their collaboration with the Slovak Debate Association in the past, Zuzka also being an active member and volunteer in the organisation „Youthfully Yours“ sends young people to trainings such as Erasmus+ and organises various workshops about self-development and critical thinking of young people, including young people that fall into the category of NEETs. Veronika is an active member of the Red Cross, and Natália regularly participates in the „Youthfully Yours“ workshops.
After completing this training course and gaining their Youthpasses, our team is very motivated and excited to start actively helping the NEETs in our communities. First step of our dissemination of this project is to raise the awareness of this issue on social media through articles and videos from this Erasmus+ project. In this upcoming year, we are planning to organise few workshops about the youth unemployment and its prevention in some chosen high schools, since we feel that talking about this issue can help prevent high schoolers from falling into the category of NEETs in the first place.
This project has definitely opened up a lot of doors for our Slovakian team to improve in the youth work we already do, and ideas about the new things and projects that we can start. It was definitely an experience worth participating in.
