The project Shapers4Shapers | Shapers4Youth is inspired by:

1. The lack of interdisciplinary workshops that provide youth with essential know-how and experience in the job-skills of the future;


2. The need for tailor-made quality training and education for young people organized according to their needs and time, in small chunks of information and education;


3. The necessity for an effective methodology focused on peer-to-peer learning, knowledge-sharing, creativity and empathy by working in groups and mentoring each other.

The project idea is organized in two stages:

1. Shapers4Shapers workshops supporting exchange and knowledge among the Shapers community;


2. Shapers4Youth workshops supporting exchange and knowledge from Shapers to the youth in general.

Goals:

To inspire youth to embrace different educational forms, thus, gaining more employable skills and being more prepared for jobs of the future and the 4th Industrial Revolution;

To motivate young people in personal and professional development, but also to transform them from learners into trainers, encouraging them to share their knowledge and know-how;

To innovate facilitation and workshop design, empowering peer-to-peer learning, and effectively transferring information and education in the short time, ultimately gaining concrete skills and know-how to complete tasks.
