Exercising our rights Manual
2014 as the YEU Year of Innovation in Non-Formal Education (NFE) forms the context in which this project was conceived. YEU tailored the project placing social cohesion at the heart of its efforts, after realizing that such mobilization was necessary for the present social circumstances. Through this endeavor, YEU aimed at building the capacity of youth activists working on social cohesion processes in their communities, and simultaneously wished to make a lasting contribution to the non-formal education arena. This manual includes newly developed activities, tested by an international group of participants in their local communities as well as in international surroundings to ascertain their effectiveness in promoting social cohesion.

An Exchange of Thoughts and Supports on the Topic of Cyber Bullying
Europe has become more cosmopolitan due to constant migration within the borders of a country or from abroad for many reasons. People sometimes get the false opinions of certain people or groups from unchecked media tools, and they tend to commit hate crimes or bias/hate incidents. When prejudice-motivated adults raise children, they inevitably turn into harsh bullies who cause discomfort and injury to their peers just because they belong to different ethnicity, language, race, nationality,
religions, physical appearance, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The aim of the project was to equip youth workers and educators with a set of competencies to provide support and work with young people who have faced hate and bullying for their empowerment and re-integration as active stakeholders in the fight against human rights, tolerance and understanding.

Seven main types of activities are available to be delivered, recreated, further developed and combined.

Guidelines on sustainability – reducing the environmental impact of youth projects and promotion of young people’s green behaviour
This manual aims to provide us with practical information and specific tips on how to reduce our environmental impact. As youth organizations, we continuously organize educational activities, youth exchanges, training courses, conferences, etc. Yet, all these events have significant environmental consequences and potentially harmful effects. The environmental impact is usually not put as a priority when organizing our events. This is expected since the curricula of our activities might have nothing to do with environmental issues. Yet, it is time to pay attention to them and try to organize activities based on the values of social responsibility.
Guide on international teams in business trainings
This guide has been developed by a partnership of former youth workers active in international and intercultural projects. After moving to the labor market, they recognized a competence gap in the field of intercultural communication skills among business people. Typically, progress towards the negotiation of economically beneficial contracts was often frustrated by mistakes in communication and a failure to understand the different cultures of trading partners. This was visible in many countries. Seeing this, the project team decided to prepare a guide and share practical knowledge and experience with business representatives.
Handbook “Difability”
In this handbook, we are going to use the term DIFABILITY, (which is the outcome of a project Eurogaming2010) instead of DISABILITY. The term comes from putting together the words: different + abilities. Our intention is to emphasize the abilities that these persons possess, not the lack of certain abilities. The purpose of the handbook is to increase knowledge and awareness about the different types of difabilities and how youngsters affected by them can be involved in projects.
Innovative YEU
This publication is the result of the training Innovate (YE)U which took place in Belgium in November 2014. Its main aim was to equip our member organizations with all the necessary competencies (attitudes, skills and knowledge) in order to bring innovation to the work we do with young people. However, we don´t want to stop at the borders of YEU and so this manual, in turn, wants to encourage you to take a deeper look at your practice and see where you can make the innovation in your work!
