Introduction

Five European countries are involved in the project: Spain (lead), France, Italy, Slovenia and Cyprus. The JuCiVol project aims to strengthen a culture of democratic values, fundamental rights and raise awareness about active citizenship by promoting volunteering among young people to encourage them to participate in community life. It is intended to support teachers and educators by supporting them with an adapted methodology. It is directly addressed to educators working with youth living in sensitive and/or migrant neighbourhoods to raise awareness of volunteering to combat radicalisation and violent behaviour while raising awareness of citizenship European, fundamental rights and their implementation on the ground.

III. Results

Two results are expected,

1- the first is the development of social and civic skills in young people so that they behave as active citizens.

2- The second is to create a mentoring for professionals in order to train young people by developing a sense of initiative and team spirit while clarifying a professional future.

To achieve these results, two tasks are planned:

    Mentoring for professionals, based on their profiles, with a practical approach to linking volunteer/volunteer action and professional careers.
    a combination of theoretical content on association knowledge, volunteer status, links to education and employment, citizenship, practical content, easy-to-understand strategy with a link to key skills and volunteering.

The results:

1- training for young people to identify and value or acquire social and civic skills (through volunteering)- accessible in the form of a guide

2- a mentoring for professionals accompanying young people to help them explain the advantages of a volunteer experience for their social and professional integration

3- a site developed by the French partner-https://www.jucivol.fr/
