Leadership 2023: A New Generation

It`s time to roll up the Erasmus+ project "Leadership 2023: A New Generation" which took part last year in August and October  with our partner organisations in Estonia  and Georgia to the collaborative efforts between MTÜ EstYES  and Youth for Society as it was supported by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ program

The project aims to equip young managers and nonprofit board members with leadership skills while enhancing their competitiveness and promoting youth participation in local decision-making. It also seeks to foster tolerance and multiculturalism, and create a platform for idea exchange to address contemporary challenges, including those within the EU.
The project emphasized international collaboration, bringing together participants from 11 diverse countries including Estonia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Finland, Poland, Armenia, Jordan, Spain, and Georgia. This cross-cultural exchange enriched perspectives, promoted mutual understanding, and inspired innovative approaches to leadership.

During the projects participants had a chance to attend Tartu 2024 and Tech Park Georgia thanks to their support in hosting training sessions.

The project timeline was intense but with clear deadlines:

• Preparations, 
• Training Course (TC) in Estonia, 
• Cross-Country Projects, 
• TC in Georgia, 
• Evaluations and Dissemination.

During cross-country experience participants were divided into groups of 5-6 people, ensuring that each group included representatives from different countries. This setup required delegates to collaborate across countries and time zones, honing their technological skills while effecting change in topics they feel passionate about. 

As a result of the project, the six groups devised six original and impactful projects:

1. “Digital tools for Leadership”. Accessible here

2. “Wake up call”. Accessible here.

3. “Can I have your Attention Please?”. Accessible here.

4. “Leaders go volunteering”. Result: PDF file about the delegates volunteering experiences.

5. “Delete Cyberbullying, Share Positivity”. Result: Instagram videos.

6. “Leadership for everyone”. Outputs: video, posters and a blog. Accessible here.

Fully described toolkit about the project you can find below.
