tasks in ECMYNN project
The project Enhancing Competences to Meet Young's Neets Needs
(E.C.M.Y.N.N.) therefore wishes to focus on the youngsters aged between 16 and
29 that are not in employment education or training needs:
- The need to improve the capacity of staff of organizations
active in the youth sector to operate in favor of specific at-risk social
exclusion and marginalized groups

offered for guidance, and the most popular professional consultation between
the organizations active in the youth sector, whether public authorities,
employment services, institutions and training organizations, support services
.
The project activities will pursue two specific objectives:
- Improve the skills of the operators working in contact with
that part of young users and the associated configurable as NEETs, and updating
their services to be more suitable to the specific target

guidance services, professional advice and personal support that can prevent
the evolution of young students or employees into NEETs , contain and respond

1.In the first project meeting
the project manager participated and got information about the project
objectives , activities and assumed ASCETIS role in the project. In the second
international project meeting we analyzed aspects of the project internal and
external communication platforms and we participated to the improvement of our
communication tools. A wiggio platform of the project was created . The manager
participated also in a series of skype calls, during which internal documents had
been created(i.e. agreements, monitoring guide, annual and monthly timesheet,
internal communications etc). He made external communication activities also,
as press relese , promotion of the project in local events and released the link to Ecmynn Web Site, on ASCETIS
Home Page (www.ascetis.ro)
2. A Facebook group page was
created for the project , on Linked-in the project was created also as a group
. A blog on blogspot was created also for ECMYNN project .
2. 3. We
started with a preliminary analysis of the project context and we addressed with
a preliminary research to a group of 10 of our NEET learners by using specific tools as structured interviews and
Open Space Technology. The socialization network Facebook offered us a very
good way of study of NEET needs.
We also found local silent partners
that are suitable for sustaining us in the implementation , dissemination and
follow up of ECMYNN project. We signed partnership agreements with ”Gheorghe
Cartianu” High-school , Scoala Postliceala Sanitara Piatra Neamt and we got
support also from the County Institute of Statistics Neamt .
3. 4. Another
important step for ECMYNN project implementation in Romania was ECMYNN survey
applied to 901 persons out of which 519 were NEETs. The big audience of our
survey was gained trough the socialization network Facebook . Here we posted
links to our survey on 1 groups created on Facebook for job placements , career
counseling or just youth entertaining.
4. 5. After
receiving the results of the survey applied at partnership level we started in
our community a research on the best practices that can be used for a most
efficient prevention and diminution of the NEET phenomenon . We found as good
practices the multiple intelligence calibration of the learning activities ,
the coaching in the use of e-learning platforms , the volunteering activities .
We recruited 3 youth workers from our volunteers that had experience in using
of this good practices and we prepared them in order to participate to the
project training program in Patras Greece .

activities are project management, financial and physical monitoring,
evaluation, internal and external communication.
