FLOW
Forwarding Learning, Opening Worlds
Empowering youth mobilities through inclusion, participation, sustainability and digitalisation
Project period: 2024–2025
Project reference: [to be added]
Programme: Erasmus+ KA210-YOU – Small-scale partnerships in the youth field
What is flow
FLOW is a project built from the collaboration of three organizations – EIVA (Romania), Léo Lagrange (France), and COMMUNITY (Turkey). We share a common goal: to raise the quality of youth learning mobility experiences and make them more inclusive, accessible, and better adapted to today’s digital world.
The project focuses on four key areas that are essential to modern youth work:
Inclusion of youth with fewer opportunities
Active youth participation
Environmental sustainability in mobility
Digital tools that support learners and educators
FLOW aims to improve how we plan, support, and evaluate youth mobilities. It also brings together practical knowledge, a user-friendly mobile app, and a collaborative guide – all co-created by the partners.
Objectives of the Project
SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS
We want to help youth organizations – newcomers and experienced – build their internal capacity, improve their practices, and integrate digital and inclusive methods.
IMPROVE YOUTH MOBILITIES
We want to make learning mobility smoother, more engaging, and better documented for young people – especially those facing barriers.
CREATE PRACTICAL TOOLS
We want to co-create a guide of 30 best practices and a mobile app to improve how mobility projects are designed, implemented, and evaluated.
BUILD STRONGER PARTNERSHIPS
We want to support international cooperation between youth workers, by learning from each other and growing together.
What We’re Developing
📱 The FLOW App
A digital platform that guides learners through their mobility experience – from preparation and application to learning, reflection, feedback and follow-up. It includes features like:
Personal development journals
Interactive weekly schedules
Feedback forms and check-ins
Recognition of learning (Youthpass, digital badges)
Organizational tools for staff and coordinators
📘 The Guide: “30 Steps to Inclusion, Participation, Environment, and Digitalisation”
A shared manual with best practices, concrete tools, and mobility project ideas, focused on our four key themes. It is being developed throughout the project via on-site visits and partner collaboration.
💡 Future Project Templates
As a sustainability action, we will create 3 mobility project blueprints, building on the lessons from FLOW.
Our Activities
The project includes four activities in three countries:
Active Citizenship in Youth Mobilities
Dijon, France – Led by Léo Lagrange
We explore how to better prepare young people for mobility and encourage active participation.
Inclusion and Diversity in Mobilities
İnegöl, Turkey – Led by COMMUNITY
We visit local actors and work on tools to ensure accessibility and inclusion in international youth projects.
Green Practices in Youth Work
Arad, Romania – Led by EIVA
We share ideas on how to bring environmental awareness into youth mobility experiences.
Flow App Development
Ongoing and Online – Coordinated by EIVA
Together we build and test the app, with real-time input from all partners.
