DP5YOU

The public organization YOUTH. SCIENCE. SPORT. HEALTHY MOVEMENT of Ukraine, together with partners, is implementing the European Union project ERASMUS-YOUTH-2024-CB entitled “Digital Platform of Knowledge and Skills Development for Youth Working with Child Migrants and Refugees at European Level / DP5YOU”.

The war that has been going on in Ukraine since 2022 has become one of the main factors in the humanitarian catastrophe, as a result of which a large number of children, adolescents and young people are forced to seek refuge in safe territories of Ukraine and in European countries.

The goal of the project is to develop a DP5YOU digital platform aimed at training youth workers who will work with migrant children and refugees.

Five organizations that already have practical experience will be involved in the implementation. As part of our project, we intend to implement a number of important activities and actions to achieve our goals: trainings, round tables, recreational and sports events. The project methodology will be based on an integrated approach to the development and training of youth workers to work with displaced and refugee children.

As part of the project, we envisage: planning and development of each event with the definition of goals and objectives; attraction of partners; Reporting and evaluation. One of the main results of the project is the training of youth workers who will gain new knowledge and skills in working with displaced and refugee children, as well as with internally displaced persons. The long-term perspective of our project envisages sustainable strengthening of work with target groups, raising professional standards among youth workers and organizations, as well as integration into the educational and cultural space.

The target groups that benefit from the project include government agencies, academics, and NGOs working with children and youth and vulnerable groups, and the project will be based on youth workers, teachers, social workers and volunteers working with migrant children and refugees (total number of 800 participants).
