JOIN THE COMANITY PROGRAMME!

As the COMANITY project is coming to its end and because it was such a great and successful programme, we want to give it a legacy. That’s why we are launching this call for interest and participation.  

What is it? 

The COMANITY programme is a unique blended programme for youth workers and volunteers working with disadvantaged young people (NEETS), at-risk behaviours, substance misuse, offenders, mental health difficulties, socio-economic barriers and others), to enhance their competences in empowering young people in their community. 

See the project’s Brochure here to have a summary of the project.

The COMANITY programme includes: a competence framework, which defines the skills that community animateurs must develop to fulfil at best their role, a training programme to learn about those competences, a self-assessment tool to assess these competences, an online knowledge space, the “COMANITY HUB” and participatory action-research methodologies to implement and evaluate the programme. 

What makes COMANITY different?

The programme is innovative at European level because it promotes a “community approach” to working with disadvantaged youth, by better understanding and connecting to the young person’s lifeworld.

To whom?

The call addresses youth organisations mostly (professionals, youth workers, and volunteers) but it is also open to a wider range of stakeholders from social services, youth services, public authorities, other NGOs to companies with social mission.
