NEET IDEA – Supporting Digital Native NEET’s Back to Mainstream Education, Training and Employment

About Us

NEET IDEA focuses on empowering young adult NEET’s with skills and attitudes that promote personal growth and fulfilment. This project is centred on building self-confidence and self-esteem by working in team environments, being respected and respecting others. The NEET IDEA project gives young adults the opportunity to become part of a film crew by encouraging learners to make several types of short films, entitled “My Dream Job.” The productions can vary between; a comedy sketch, a documentary, a mockumentary, a short film with a serious theme, etc. all produced from the comfort of your smartphone!

Resources

In-Service Training Programme

The In-Service Training Programme explores the different roles of educators and support workers within the environment of embedded learning. It focuses on the ubiquity of online learning environments that greatly appeal to the young adult NEET target group. The face-to-face sessions focus on building the competence and confidence of educators so that they can develop digital media projects and short films with young adult NEETs in their community. It also highlights key engagement strategies that can be used to engage these hard-to-reach learners. This programme ensures that adult educators have the ability to utilise online learning resources and be comfortable in carrying out online tasks. Adult educators will be suitably trained in blended learning models of intervention, to understand the benefits of online learning and be fully aware of the risks that are associated with online environments. The NEET IDEA In-Service Training Programme contributes greatly to the development of the inclusivity of marginalised groups in many educational settings.

Compendium of Inquiry-based and Embedded-learning Resources

To accompany the blended learning initiative of this project, educators need to fully understand basic and transversal skills based in a digital and media production environment. The resources presented in this compendium motivate NEET individuals to develop their critical thinking, research skills, organisational skills and gain an insight into the implementation of digital-learning environments. Young adult NEET’s are asked to develop short-films, pertaining to the central theme of “My Dream Job”. Participants have the opportunity to have their productions shown to their counterparts in seven different EU countries. This approach can help learners to discover more about themselves and learn about other individuals from their productions. The resources offer templates for the different stages of: pre-production, production, and post-production to aid in their filmmaking. Individuals can use this opportunity to enhance their filmmaking skills whilst cleverly introducing and analysing the concept of employment. The activities in this toolkit support adult educators to give a voice to young adult NEETs so that they can engage with career planning processes through the medium of film-making. The NEET IDEA project resources propose a mindset that encourages participants to imagine a future where employment plays a major role in their lives.
