Tiivistelmä
This book in your hands is based on the international European Social Fund project Generational Intelligent Mentoring of NEET Young (2018–2021). The project was carried out in Finland by the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Juvenia) with an international co-operation network from Poland (the BD Center) and Bulgaria (NGO Peonies). The objective of the whole project was to develop a new generational intelligent mentoring model to work with young people, which especially facilitated the schooling and employment of NEET youth (young people not in education, employment or training).
The theme of the book is very topical, as the status and numbers of NEET youth at the EU level are worrying and new approaches and methods are needed. The book also highlights the importance of transnational co-operation in benchmarking and comparative co-development. The book introduces country-specific research information and the innovative practices and experiments carried out together with the young people. Focusing on NEET youth, it also discusses the societal context of marginalization. The book is a strong “polyphonic” publication compiling the views of researchers, developers and students of this specific field.
The book should work as excellent study material for students in youth and social fields. It should also find its way to the hands of professionals working with NEET youth.
