On November 25, 2024, the first kick-off meeting of the international project “Stronger Together: Strengthening Youth Workers and Organisations for Displaced Youth Integration and Resilience” (SYWOR) took place, marking the beginning of a transformative journey. This meeting laid the foundation for successful collaboration among partner organisations and set the stage for the implementation of key activities over the next 36 months.
Highlights of the kick-off meeting
During the meeting, the project coordinators and representatives from all partner organisations gathered to outline key objectives, discuss the implementation plan, and allocate responsibilities. Key topics covered included:
Strategic planning
Partners reviewed and discussed the project’s roadmap, outlining the specific tasks and steps required for successful implementation over the three-year period.
Essential documentation
Participants were introduced to critical project documents, including the official guidelines, financial regulations, and the visual communication strategy to ensure consistency in messaging.
Communication and collaboration
The team established mechanisms for regular updates, including periodic meetings, progress reports, and internal communication channels to facilitate smooth cooperation.
Visibility and dissemination
A comprehensive strategy for project dissemination was developed, focusing on increasing visibility on social media, engaging target audiences, and sharing key achievements.
The project is implemented by Young Agents of Change in collaboration with the Georgian Youth Development Association (GYDA), European Integration Group, MilleniuM Training and Development Institute, and Fundacja Nowy Staw. It is co-funded by the European Union.
Next steps
With the kick-off meeting successfully completed, the project partners will now proceed with the first phase of activities, including conducting needs assessments, developing training materials, and organising capacity-building workshops for youth workers. The project will also work closely with displaced youth to co-create solutions that address their specific challenges and aspirations.
As SYWOR progresses, we will continue to share updates, success stories, and key insights through our social media channels and website.
