description
The inaccessibility of non-formal education and at the same time under-
awareness of the need for it is a problem that often occurs among students of
primary and secondary schools in the territory of the Republic of Serbia.
According to the National strategy for young people, through formal and
informal education society should work on the development of young people to
take an active role in education, family life, employment, health and overall
social life. According to the test results Institute for Psychological Research
Philosophy Faculty in Belgrade, which was commissioned by the Ministry of
Youth and Sports, it is shown that 70% of young people see themselves as
capable and interested in solving problems, while only 32% of young people
have taken at least once a part in the action which solved any local problem.
Through our project "Enter Your Future" we want to create platform for
developing youth through non-formal education in Serbia. We want to
strengthen capacities and abilities of youth for active participation in their
society through learning which promotes knowledge. Also we want the youth to
acquire skills for their own practical use. Linking formal and non-formal
education improves skills necessary for young people for their personal
development, advances in communication in their mother tongue,
communication in foreign languages, as well as the skills needed for their
meaningful participation in society and the decisions that directly affect the
quality of life of young people and the development of society as a whole.
Through "Enter Your Future" project we created systematic education
program adapted to the students in elementary school (from 1st to 8th grade)
and to high school students, in duration of five weeks. In this period students
will have a chance to gain certain knowledge and skills through interactive
workshops held by international volunteers. In project plan for elementary
schools are language workshops aimed at exploring the culture where foreign
student volunteer is coming from and to create the desire to learn a new foreign
language. For high school students intended workshops are computer literacy
with a focus on the practical application of acquired skills. Workshops intended
for high school students are customized for each year separately and are held
twice a year - at the end of the first and second semester.
We are striving for continuity in the realization of our project, tracking and
encouragement of development of our students. Our organization develops
leadership potential so we want to show importance of formal and non-formal
education to young people, also all opportunities that are available to them. Our
main goal is reducing unemployment among young people through creating a
platform for non-formal education and youth activism. When we are speaking
about students our goal is strengthening confidence in relation to others,
development of communication skills and teamwork, strengthening of their
value system in which are highly valued self-responsibility, sincere and proper
communication, putting themselves and others to action. One of the greatest
values of our project is that students will work in an international environment
during these five weeks.
Project agendas Soft skills literacy
Technical literacy
Language literacy
We are living in a world where knowing 2 languages is expected. We are living in a world where almost everything is with global perspective. Going in school of languages can take too much time, and more important too much money. We are not competition for them because we don’t want to be like a formal school. We want to use our informal approach and to engage kids through creative workshops, native speakers from lot of countries, and young people who will be their teachers. This project is realizing in primary and high school, according to school needs. DOWNLOAD AGENDA: LINK
We are living in a world where internet, technology is almost everywhere, even in devices where we are not expecting. We have more and more social networks, more and more channels for communication but inversely proportional we have less number of kids who are using those opportunities on right way and usually they are lost somewhere on internet. Internet is very useful but it is not safe. We want to use our informal approach and to show kids how they can use internet, different tools in their daily activities. We want to have creative approach and through workshops we want to teach them a lot of different tools. This project is realizing in high schools. DOWNLOAD AGENDA: LINK
Faculty for a lot of high schools kids is really big change, because they are coming from school, where they had fixed everyday work, to place called faculty where they should use all abilities they had in order to pass exams, and in lot of cases work in same time. Somehow, first place where they are facing with a lot of challenging situations is faculty. Most of those abilities are soft skills and growth mindset. Because we really think that they don’t need to wait for a faculty in order to face those challenges, we want to work with them and help them to overcome all fears they had before they go to the faculty. We want to have creative approach and work with them on skills that they can use in daily activities. We are organizing this project in high schools. DOWNLOAD AGENDA: LINK
Project Inner&Outer journey
During this whole experience, intern will have support from a mentor, and organization he/she works in, but also from the AIESEC side.
Working as a professor is hard. Doing their job and being interesting is challenging for everyone who ever tried to have workshops with kids. Intern will be involved in LC, so speaking in front of crowd, having meetings with members from LC, school and other stakeholders during internship will make challenging role for each intern on this project.
At the beginning of internship, intern will have a meeting with buddy and responsible person from school where they will set clear responsibilities and goals which intern will have. Expectation for fulfilling this will be also set on this meeting. During internship, intern will have full responsibility for job he/she is doing.
OUTER JOURNEY
During internship, intern will interact with a lot of different stakeholders. From apartment, host house where he/she will live with other interns or families, intern will interact with school, members from LC, and companies on educations that intern will have, and most important intern will interact with delegates.

Project statistics
+ + +
Project was made at the end of October 2013. First realization peak was January when we had successful 40+ realizations. In that point we had just few agendas which we proposed to our schools, and we didn’t had established partnerships in order to ensure that realizations are going to be very good. Day by day project grew massively, and maybe plans can show you how much:
We have a lot of schools that are already our partners, or they were at first realization peak. Now we have 9 entities as country partners, and they are going to be involved in this amazing project which will really have impact on our society in Serbia. We are really enthusiastic with this project, and we truly believe that through workshops on Enter your future project we can push informal education and activism of youth on higher level.
