As you know 2020 Education has been very active in 2013. Here is a list of all the Projects and their blog links.
Our first project of the year was the Starting Points conference. The aim of the Starting Points Project is to develop successful and sustainable partnerships in order to develop future projects together.
The themes will be employment, enterprise, career skills for young people, and how to bridge the gap between formal (school) and non formal education. We will consider how to use the different parts of Youth in Action, and how to organise good 2020 Education projects together.

The main objective of "Georgia On My Mind" is to empower young people of both nations, using two main methods. (1) Workshops and discussions on issues including youth rights (millennium development goals), empowerment, active citizenship, EU enlargement, the Youth in Action programme and intercultural understanding. (2) Practical exercises, training and workshops to help young participants broaden their horizons in terms of the value of skills and competencies gained through volunteering and how to better present themselves in their CV's and job interviews.
A consistent theme running throughout the programme will be gaining an understanding of the natural environment and how we can look after the planet, showing that green industry will be a growth area in the future European economy. Since half of the participants are from UK urban areas, a special effort will be put on the value and utility of manual work and careers in craftsmanship. This is an employment sector that is not attractive to some young people but offers many opportunities to less academic young people.
First Time Europe is designed to be the participants’ first experience of international youth projects, an opportunity to learn about another culture and to find out more about the European Union in general.
Business without borders is a a 3 country project exploring business and enterprise across Europe The countries involved are UK, Turkey and the Ukraine. The project runs over a 2 year period.

Stargazy is a boat renovation project based in Cawsand, Cornwall
The ‘Star Gazy’ initiative has a proven potential opportunity to give a small group of young people facing significant challenges the chance to learn some new, practical skills at the same time as developing their appreciation of being citizens in a wider Europe.
20 youth workers and 120 youngsters from 6 countries will be trained to be multipliers for active citizenship on local level, with global horizons, and develop participative activities in local youth work, relying on the values of inclusion, diversity and sustainable development, in the framework of an international network of learning support.
