International Projects
Together with its network partners socioMovens is starting joint projects to enhance international youth work and help all partners with organisational development to raise their capacities in „giving Europe a Soul“.
Projects that we realise jointly in the network help us to understand each other better and provide real peer-learning effects.
In effect, we are able to deliver our youth work closer to the needs of our participants and communities.
Fit2Commit
Through 2028, the project aims to empower young people to actively shape social inclusion and counteract exclusion through volunteer work. The project design is based on two closely intertwined strands of action: Firstly, young people are developing an interactive “Grassroots Peer2Peer Guide” through a participatory process. Secondly, youth work professionals from the participating partner organizations are working to collect, share, and further develop proven methods and approaches for promoting youth engagement in a practical handbook for youth work with concrete tools to highlight and address social exclusion in everyday life.
socioMovens is a project partner. The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
B2LParticipate
„From Brussels to the Locals: Hands On Youth Participation“ wants to equip young people from Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Croatia for more independent participation especially in civil society, but also in politics. Therefore delegations from the countries are having a workshop in Brussels. Consequently the young people organise Youth Participation Days (YPDs) for their local communities.
socioMovens is an associated project partner. The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
Safeguarding Toolbox
Since 2023 the socioMovens network has accelerated its work on the topic of safeguarding in international youth work. In cooperation with partners from the network and experts we have drafted, piloted, finalised and implemented the use of a Toolbox with a broad set of practical safeguarding methods.
In the beginning the toolbox is available in English, Polish and German – more languages from the socioMovens network will follow.
The project has been generously co-funded by the Prevention Team of the Archdiocese of Paderborn.

DigiConAct
Youth (Work) Inspired Across Borders is the speaking title of an international project, that aims to re-activate young alumni of socioMovens-project work and develop digital and hybrid formation and engagement offers with and for them. In a first phase contacts were researched and reactivated, local communities organised Needs Meet Ups to look into the local realities of young people.
Currently, seven digital and hybrid mini grant initiatives are running – ideated and implemented by young people themselves. Between podcasts, social media campaigns and flash mobs different perspectives come to life and shall enter future dialogue.
NextGenResp
The project promoted the qualification, sustainable involvement and assumption of responsibility by alumni as multipliers/youth workers. Throughout different activities the partners pilot the implementation of new recruitment and training possibilities – in a European exchange network. As as result, the project also produced two short manuals on how to organise volunteer job shadowing mobilities and grant-based, volunteer led mini-projects. The manuals are available for download.
The project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
