Training course description:

This training course offers a structured opportunity to explore the DigComp framework and strengthen digital youth work practices, equipping youth workers with knowledge, tools, and inspiration to support young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, in developing their digital competences. Through a carefully designed program based on non-formal education and experiential learning, participants will be introduced to the five competence areas of the DigComp framework and learn how to apply them in youth work contexts.

 

Participants will explore topics such as digital literacy, online safety, collaboration tools, digital creativity, and problem-solving, with a focus on youth-friendly approaches and inclusive strategies. The course will also provide space for examining how digital tools can foster participation, engagement, and empowerment of young people in their communities, especially in today’s technology-driven world. Throughout the training, Erasmus+ opportunities and the Youthpass tool will be integrated as frameworks for recognition and future engagement.

 

The training will move beyond theoretical input by engaging participants in simulation activities, collaborative planning, hands-on workshops, peer exchanges, and structured reflection. Special attention will be given to practical application of DigComp in youth work, co-creation of tools and workshops, and the design of follow-up activities that will be implemented at local level after the training. These follow-up actions aim to multiply the impact by promoting digital literacy among young people and strengthening the digital capacities of participating youth organizations.

 

In the final part of the training, participants will work in teams to develop local action plans for workshops and activities tailored to young people’s needs in their communities.

Good practice example from Bosnia and Herzegovina – BalsiKa

Good practice example from Bosnia and Herzegovina – BalsiKa

BalsiKa is a youth orchestra project that brings together young musicians from across Europe to learn and perform traditional music by ear. It started in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a way to promote peace, cultural exchange, and equality through music.

 

How it started?

It all started as an idea of a French guitarist Jean Claude who went on an enlightening journey through central Africa for a few years. There he discovered something in music that was not taught in any conservatory or music academy he attended, listening and learning by ear, transmitting the music through the people rather than through paper. He fell in love with this concept and when returning back to Europe he found a music branch which actually roots itself in the same principles throughout the world and truly embodies the universality of music as a human language- traditional music. He dreamed of uniting Europe through sound, celebrating differences and learning about each other. He was quite struck by the devastating war of Yugoslavia in the 90s and had a wish for this music revolution to start right there, in the middle of the post conflict zone, bringing art and peace. ”What about Bosnia and Herzegovina as a starting point?” he said. And that is how our story started.

What is BalsiKa?

BalsiKa is a mix of three words, Balkan, Alsace and orchestra. The name represents the regions from which the first participants of this big project came from. After arriving in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jean Claude and his partner Perrette met with a revolutionary guitar professor Nedim Tinjić who took the project as an incredible idea for building the future of the Blakans. Many youth exchanges later, in Strasbourg, Paris, Tuzla, Sarajevo, Kotor and so many more, something incredible was born! A transeuropean orchestra of traditional music, the dream came true! Nowadays two orchestras function on a weekly basis as a continuation of this project, one in Strasbourg and one in Tuzla, although the one in France was first called PapyrosN and now Ballade, and the one in Bosnia and Herzegovina is still called BalsiKa, whole heartedly honoring the movement that created a big influx of culture and art in Tuzla region.


Basic principles

There are a few main columns on which the roof of this project stands:

  • transmission of traditional music from the source
  • transmission of music by ear
  • peer to peer methodology
  • no first nor last musician, everyone on the stage is equal.


What was born from these principles are friendship, mutual respect, intercultural dialogue, love and so much knowledge, both musical and cultural. All of this was achieved organically and just following the logic that music truly is this universal language connecting us all, where words stop music commences but where the world stops, music is a strong enough force to keep it spinning.


Today and the future

After more than fifteen years there has rarely been a missed rehearsal for orchestra BalsiKa in Tuzla, more and more projects are born and created, more and more young people are joining to share and learn traditional music from all over the world. The older generations, now in their twenties, are constantly travelling and bringing back traditional pieces for the orchestra to play. Our leader Nedim and Jean Claude are also very active, although many young educators joined the team!

Many youth exchanges are still organized with our partner: association Ballade from Strasbourg. When it comes to orchestra BalsiKa in Tuzla, we do not intend to ever stop, maybe soon we just might have to find more rooms for the rehearsals since the number of musicians is rising to be over one hundred. What is in front of us? Well probably many more projects, friendships, travels, laughter and more than all MUSIC.

Youth-led ECO community projects for prevention of school drop-outs

Youth-led ECO community projects for prevention of school drop-outs

As associated partners, we contributed to the development of the following project and its outputs:

 

Programme: Erasmus+

Key Action: Partnerships for cooperation and exchanges of practices

Action Type: Cooperation partnerships in youth

Project Identifier: 2023-1-PT02-KA220-YOU-000156550

Project Title: Youth-led ECO community projects for prevention of school drop-outs

Topics: Community development; Green skills; Preventing early school leaving and failure in education

Results Platform Project Card: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/projects/search/details/2023-1-PT02-KA220-YOU-000156550

Funded by: the Portuguese National Agency for the management of the Erasmus+ Youth in Action programme (Agência Nacional para a gestão do programa Juventude em Acção).

 

Project partners are:

  • DOTS – Cooperativa de Inovação Social para a Transformação Social, CRL; Portugal
  • LINK DMT s.r.l.; Italy
  • Centre for Non-formal education and Lifelong learning; Serbia
  • Learning Wizard d.o.o.; Croatia

 

Project duration: 19 months – from 01/12/2023 till 30/06/2025.

 

Summary of the project:

School drop-out is considered to be a serious problem in Europe, and it is caused by poverty, emigration but also different social factors that deprive young people from having experiential learning activates and a positive environment in their schools. Even though there are many updates in the system of education and laws that are enforced to help the situation and reduce the drop-out rate, the phenomenon is still quite present especially in some regions and rural areas. School environment is still not considered fully attractive for young people, on the contrary, it can be a potential space for bullying, peer-violence, and similarly does not focus on providing continuously activities that foster social inclusion of youngsters.

 

The idea of having youth involved in social and environmental projects in their community through the engagement and support of their schools, especially in regions where the school drop-out rate is high, is the main motivation for this project to be implemented. School drop-out rate as a phenomenon still is quite present in our countries despite the efforts of governments in adopting new laws and regulations for more innovative and practical approaches to education, as well as despite the efforts by the teachers to provide quality learning to their students.

 

The school drop-out rate can be increased due to many factors such as poverty, emigration, bullying in schools, lack of social interactions and inclusion within the school environment, lack of critical thinking development among youngsters in schools, lack of ability to accept the presence of other cultures and embrace diversity, and related causes. Listing all these reasons that cause increase or stagnation of school drop-out rates, it can be concluded that there is an urgent need to offer effective long-term solutions that offer attractive, interactive, inclusive and motivational school environment for all youngsters in the partner organisations’ countries and throughout Europe in order to support the 2030 EU target in having the school drop-out rate below 9%.

 

Non-formal education principles have been embraced by a high number of youngsters throughout Europe and globe, as well as considered highly attractive and practical. On the other hand, the formal education institutions do not necessarily contain interactive spaces and activities for their students. Youth work and NFE methods have resulted in being motivational and bringing interaction, embracing diversity among young people. Although there are different programmes provided through the non-formal education programmes, there is still a big gap on connecting and cooperating between youth workers and school teachers that can lead to fruitful results and prevention of school drop-out through the combination of formal and non-formal education methods, as well as through the exchanging of practices, support in processes and stimulating youngsters in becoming active citizens.

 

This project uses an innovative approach with various activities, involvement of associate partners from different sectors, including schools to address the needs of youngsters, with the main aim to provide a solution which is considered attractive and useful for the community and environment at the same time and promote the inclusion and diversity in education, youth work and local communities.

 

The specific objectives of the project are:

Empowering youngsters in organising (eco) community projects and strengthening their competences for life through innovative toolkit and online course on initiating and implementing activities within green community service and learning programmes;

Empowering youth workers’ capacities in collaborating with schools on reducing the school drop-out rates through developing community service and learning programmes for young students (mainstream and at risk) – through innovative curriculum;

Exchange good practices among 4 European countries with different realities regarding school drop-out rates and the active citizenship of youth in communities and increase partnership on multiplication of the project results Europe wide.

MY PEACE – Mini-launch event in Bosnia and Herzegovina

MY PEACE – Mini-launch event in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Last month, 20 youth workers, NGO representatives, and young change makers gathered in Bosnia and Herzegovina to promote the MY PEACE project and its newly launched tools for youth peace-building through music.

 

The event highlighted two major achievements of the project—the MY PEACE Roadmap and the MY PEACE Compendium. The Roadmap provides practical guidance for educators and peace-builders to actively involve young people in reconciliation processes, while the Compendium features 30 inspiring examples of how music has been used as a tool for healing, activism, and connection across communities.

 

Through interactive presentations, roundtable discussions, and outdoor group work, participants explored how music can build bridges—locally, regionally, and internationally. Younger participants shared their visions for music-driven peace efforts, while experienced educators offered insights from past initiatives.

The gathering showcased not only the power of music but also the strength of intergenerational and cross-sector collaboration in shaping a peaceful future in the Western Balkans and beyond.

This activity was organised as part of the “MUSIC OF YOUTH – A PEACE Building Approach” project, a 2.5-year initiative aimed at empowering youth to engage in the peacebuilding process through music, making it both attractive and accessible to young people.

Exploring innovation in VET: Study visit in Vilnius brings together educators from across Europe

Exploring innovation in VET: Study visit in Vilnius brings together educators from across Europe

From March 16–25, 2025, thirty educators, VET professionals, and youth workers gathered in Vilnius, Lithuania for a dynamic 10-day study visit hosted by VILNIUS TECH and its Creativity and Innovation Centre “LinkMenų fabrikas.”

Organized as part of the DRUPWB project, the visit aimed to strengthen innovation, inclusion, and sustainability in vocational education and training (VET) across Europe.

 

The programme combined expert-led presentations, site visits to top innovation hubs like the Sunrise Valley Science & Technology Park and Manufacturing Innovation Valley, as well as interactive workshops and peer-learning sessions. Participants explored themes such as circular economy, digital transformation in VET, inclusive education, and strategies for engaging NEET youth.

 

Highly engaging and well-organized, the study visit received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Participants particularly valued the practical sessions, group work on future of work and self-employment, and the opportunities for networking and international cooperation. Many left inspired to implement new ideas in their own institutions and pursue further collaboration.

 

The visit concluded with group presentations, certificate distribution, and a guided cultural tour of Vilnius Old Town. It not only deepened participants’ professional knowledge but also sparked new partnerships and opened doors for future initiatives in digital and sustainable VET.

Developing digital competences of young people based on DigComp framework

Developing digital competences of young people based on DigComp framework

Start date: 01.05.2025. --- End date: 30.11.2025.

Project reference: 2024-3-DE04-KA153-YOU-000283547

EU Grant: 39.924,00 EUR

Program: Erasmus+

Key Action: KA153 – Mobility of Youth Workers

Partner countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania


Spin is official project partner.

The extremely rapid adoption of the digital environment in all aspects of life, taking in leisure, education and work, means that we have learned how to use it very quickly. As a result, there is a need to ascertain the skills of society and levels of media and digital literacy, especially among groups in education such as young people.

 

Digital skills are crucial for young people in today’s technology-driven world, shaping their ability to engage, learn, and succeed in multiple aspects of life. First and foremost, digital literacy empowers young people to participate actively in society, giving them the tools to express their voices, advocate for causes, and influence change through social media and online platforms.

It also enhances their educational opportunities, as many modern learning resources are digital, providing access to a wealth of information and virtual learning environments.

 

Furthermore, in an economy increasingly reliant on technology, digital skills are a key component of career readiness.

Many professions require proficiency in digital tools, from basic word processing to more advanced tasks like coding or data analysis. Young people with these skills are better equipped to navigate the job market and adapt to evolving career demands. In addition, digital skills foster critical thinking and media literacy, allowing young people to evaluate online information and combat misinformation. Understanding how to engage responsibly and safely online, including protecting privacy and avoiding cyberbullying, is equally important.

 

Finally, digital skills spark creativity and innovation, enabling young people to use technology to solve problems and create their own content, and mastering these skills helps bridge social inequalities and prepares young people to thrive in a digital future.

Project objectives:

  • Increasing the competencies and abilities of youth workers from 6 partner organisations for implementation of youth work activities based on DigComp framework for development of digital competences of young people with fewer opportunities

  • Explore DigComp framework with eight proficency levels and examples of use, and discuss how can it be integrated into regular youth work activities with young people with fewer opportunities in local communities

Project map

  • Developing capacities of partner organisations involved for the development of new and upgrade of existing youth work activities with integration of digital tools into their daily activities

  • Promotion of the Erasmus+ Program as an opportunity for youth workers and young people in the EU and WB countries, as well as promotion of the Youthpass certificate as a learning recognition tool

  • Implementation of multiplication educational workshops in local communities of partner organisations with an aim to promote project results to the wider community

Capacity building in youth work for inclusion of youngsters with different abilities through quality youth sport work, outdoor and leisure programmes

Capacity building in youth work for inclusion of youngsters with different abilities through quality youth sport work, outdoor and leisure programmes

Start date: 01.03.2025. --- End date: 31.01.2027.

Project reference: 101186374

EU Grant: 239.508,80 EUR

Program: ERASMUS-YOUTH-2025-CB-WB

Key Action: Capacity Building in the Field of Youth in Western Balkan

Partner countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Croatia, Kosovo


Spin is project coordinator.

Regular exercise contributes to good health and improves quality of life. Physical activity also positively affects people’s social lives, from social participation to general well-being. These positive effects of physical activity apply to everyone: young and old, healthy people and those with a chronic condition or physical or mental disabilities. What’s more, for people with disabilities physical activity is not simply a way to relax, but it can also contribute to safeguarding (or even improving) functionality and therefore autonomy.

 

However, for people with disabilities or chronic conditions, regular participation in physical activity is not always accessible and participation rates are up to three times less than for people without disabilities. They may for instance experience difficulty finding a suitable sports or physical activity programme in their immediate surroundings, mostly due to deficits in staff training.

Partner organisations also noticed lack of programs tailored to the needs and interests of young people with disabilities. This scarcity limits their opportunities for participation, as they may not find activities that align with their preferences and abilities. Even when programs are available, they may not adequately address the diverse needs of young individuals with disabilities, including those with varying types and degrees of disabilities.

 

These recognised needs will be addressed through capacity-building initiatives, ultimately striving to create an inclusive and empowering environment for young people with disabilities through sport, outdoor, and leisure activities.

Project objectives:

  • To raise capacity of youth work organisations and youth workers (in all our countries, and especially in BA and XK) on how to sensitise mainstream youth and youth workers for inclusion of Youngsters with Disabilities (YWDs) through quality youth sport work, outdoor and leisure programmes.

  • Capacity building of youth work organisations on quality adaptation of spaces and methods for youth sport work, outdoor and leisure activities with mixed groups of youngsters mainstream and with different abilities.

  • Capacity building of youth work coordinators with different abilities on active participation through quality management of spaces for youth sport work, outdoor and leisure activities with mixed groups of youngsters mainstream and with different abilities.
