1.2. Description project

In our projects we use different applications to develop the digital competences of the participants and we
have noticed an increase of interest in the themes in which we use different applications, the use of the
equipment - smartphone (in most situations), tablets, laptops - for information on various topics under
discussion.

In our activities so far, we have noticed that young people use computing equipment with great ease, they are
open to using new applications, use social networks to receive information, to present their lives in projects.
As negative elements, I noticed that very few of the participants asked additional questions about the new
applications proposed, about the security level of the networks they enter, as they posted information that
touched other people. For this reason, we believe that young people need support from those with more
experience from organizations to provide counseling during their training.

At the level of the partner organizations identified for the young people in the organizations

1. a low level of knowledge related to the security of information on social networks

2. Low level of knowledge about the consequences of social networking activities
3. low interest in involvement in social causes presented on social networks
4. The lack of confidence that they can learn something new about the Internet, personal security

Page 1 of 13
This support should be continuous for young people looking for the way in life, otherwise existing problems
will deepen, leading to:

- increasing the number of vulnerable young people on social networks

- More and more young people who see social networks as an alternative to real activities a deeper and
deeper rupture between generations,

For young people involved in the project, SMART objectives are:

1. increasing the level of knowledge on internet safety for 48 young people (coordinated by 8 leaders), from
Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine, for 11 days

2. To increase the level of knowledge about 48 creative young people (coordinated by 8 leaders) from Bulgaria,
Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine for creative expression for 11 days

3. Increasing the level of knowledge related to non-formal activities for 48 young people (coordinated by 8
leaders), from Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine, for 11 days

Activities

The Be safe on internet project proposes 2 activities:

1. Advance Planning Visit - APV – in period of 24 - 25 2020, attended by the 7 Group Leaders from partner
organizations.

The group leader is selected on the basis of organizational skills, conflict management and language skills (a
good knowledge of English will facilitate communication with other leaders, young people in their group and
other people involved in the project). The group leader must have experience in working with young people,
know non-formal working methods, manage the group they coordinate, prevent and settle conflicts. It is
preferable for the leader to be over 20, to have knowledge about the use of the Internet, about the
applications used by young people about social networks.

2. Youth Exchange - run on April 19-29, 2020 (Due the COVID-19 the project is postpone till a new date that
will be communicate to partners as soon is possible and borders from partners countries will open, and travel
with airplane, car, train will not gone be limited)

In all projects, since the project design phase, we aim to involve young people from disadvantaged
backgrounds: young people from rural areas, Roma families or ethnic minorities, from large or economically
disadvantaged families, for whom the use of technology is restrictive, are easy to in-line environment, and
who also do not have opportunities to develop their direct communication skills with young people from other
cultures.

For this theme, we decided that the project would involve 6 young people from each organization,
coordinated by a leader. The project Be safe on internet will be attended by 48 young people aged between 16
and 30 from Bulgaria, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine for 11 days.

Together, we set up an "ideal" profile, and partner organizations will identify and select the youngsters that
match this profile:

- Young aged between 16 and 30 years old

- falls into one of the following categories: it comes from rural areas, its family is a large family, is of Roma or
minority ethnicity, comes from an economically disadvantaged family
- to show interest in the project theme
- be available throughout the project period
- have basic English knowledge
- be willing to participate in dissemination activities of exchange experience.
