regional strategy south-west-styria - EU-Regionalmanagement ...

Regional Strategy:
Strengthening of associations as multipliers for information and job opportunities
- Building up of networks by the regional youth management
- Cooperation of the regional youth management in relevant committees
- Public events/cooperation with media to make the work of associations visible
- Support of associations in the form of projects / promotion counselling
- Workshops / education trainings for multipliers
Stronger cooperation with schools:
On the one hand to successfully transfer information and offers to teachers and students, on the
other hand to make cooperations and projects possible
- Projects in schools / economy (regional companies). This is precisely important in a
region with a strong focus on the secondary sector
- Projects in non-formal education schools (through more contact to schools, projects with
non-formal educational aspects could also occur more often. Teachers would also be
good multipliers to help young people with access to information and teach them the
ability to evaluate information)
- Projects in politics / regional management – schools (information about how decision
processes in the region happen, about current developments and challenges, about
where participation / contact possibilities can be found)
Special offers of support in the field of educational and vocational orientation for girls
and young women:
- networking through the regional youth management with departments
(Frauengesundheitszentrum, Mafalda, zam)
- Follow-on project: No women, No Future
- Cooperation of the regional management in projects (Juba – Bab) and committees
Moreover, methods and cooperation partners are selected to make offers in the area
of educational and vocational orientation accessible also in extracurricular context for
young people:
- Youth welfare, social work
- Youth centers
- Associations
- Mobile youth work
- Initiatives of youth culture
Besides general efforts to create new jobs in the region, the model “apprenticeship after school
leaving examination” might keep young people who have completed grammar school in the
region.
- To provide low-threshold advanced education trainings in the field of non-formal
education in order to enhance the qualification of young people
- Transfer of information through the RJM on events (job fairs etc.)
