I’m Sadik Berat Baydu. I am currently a volunteer in Craiova,Romania. I realized that being a volunteer has many benefits and contributes to personal development. Volunteering allowed me to make new friends, learn a new culture, and feel belonging to a community. I am currently volunteering in a kindergarten. Thanks to volunteering, I had this experience that I have never thought of. I was thinking of participating in a volunteering program during my university years and I am very happy to realize that plan. Spending time under the roof of love, respect and solidarity helps my personal development. I completed my first month in Seeds Of Solidarity project. I’m so thankful to Tinerii3D&LIDOSK association to give me that chance.

As Audrey Hepburn said; “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands — one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”. That quote can be the summary of Volunteering for me. As I grew up I noticed the Inequalities among people. And wanted to do something about it. That is the main reason but of course there are many other things that made me eager for volunteering. Such as helping others, learning new cultures, exploring new places and meeting new people. I love the way that I feel when I help somebody, learn new things and improve myself. And volunteering is the point of intersection of all these topics. While volunteering ı touch people’s heart, sometimes I do not even know their names. Usually I used to work with youngsters but nowadays, I work with children and that made me look to the society in a way broader perspective. And I think that’s the beauty of volunteering, a volunteer can experience every kind of people from any ages and any social backgrounds, experience many behaviors and these conditions makes a volunteer more open-minded, socially experienced and to be able to act mature in any case of emergencies or special needs. What ı wanted to say is volunteering is more than its lexical meaning. It is a way to grow up. long story short; Although mentally growing up is a lifelong process, volunteering can accelerate the process.

We were partener of Youth European Society that held a youth exchange as part of Mission: Youth Employment project, co-financed by the European Commission Erasmus + Program. The exchange took place in Bansko between November 10 and November 18, 2019 and was attended by 40 young people from 7 European countries – Bulgaria, Serbia, Northern Macedonia, Romania, Czech Republic, Albania and Kosovo. During the youth exchange, young people raised awareness of youth unemployment in the countries participating in the project and also learned methods and tools for finding solutions to this problem. Through simulation games, videos and discussions, young people gained experience and confidence in how they should behave during a job interview and how to deal with the challenges before starting their first job. During the training, the representatives of all participating organizations shared their views and good practices during the open discussions. The young people had the opportunity to present to the rest of their country’s culture, traditional food, drink, dance and folklore. Each of the participants in the training received a YouthPass certificate. Ideas for future cooperation in joint projects were also discussed.

“Let’s fight unemployment” project outcome and good ideas for youth

Written by Tinerii 3D. Posted in News

The project “Let’s fight unemployment” identified a link between self-awareness and youth unemployment in a way that if youngsters are aware of their individual potential, they will be more open and confidant to create projects that will increase that potential, consequently creating possible employment opportunities. As such, “Let’s fight unemployment” aimed to support youth workers in helping youth to overcome unemployment and its consequences, through developing young people’s competences and knowledge in the areas of self-awareness, entrepreneurship, healthy behaviors, communication, contributing towards the creation of employment opportunities.
