Info Pack 2

Dear Participants,

As time grows closer to our Training Course we are sending you this info pack with important information for the

project. Please read this carefully.

Please make sure all participants have registered their information HERE

Facebook Group for this project is HERE

Project Description:Social media has become the norm for most young people today and endless hours are spent on

social media. We are planning a training course which will help develop methods and approaching

which will allow youth workers to take advantage of social media in order to help youth with the

serious unemployment problems which they face during the world crisis. The training course will

address the various problems in each country and try to find EU solutions for these problems. We

will look at the negative impact of social media, especially with regard to how it affects chances of

employment and give the tools to youth workers and organisations to help youth in each of the

communities to take advantage of social media. We will also develop strategies to turn social

media into more of a learning experience rather than a platform to waste time. Our hope is to be able to take social

media, a tool enjoyed by all youth, and turn it into a platform which will allow them to learn and also create jobs,

find jobs and even develop business skills.

The Venue:

The venue for our project is at a private

mountain/forest park location just

outside of Central London (Zone 3).

Moat Mount Outdoor Centre, Moat Mount Open

Space, Barnet Way,

Mill Hill, London NW7 5AL

Things to bring:

You will need to bring your own shampoo, slippers or sandals for indoor use

soap, tooth brush and tooth paste, bath towels and any other personal

hygiene items you need.

HERE you can check the local weather so you can bring appropriate clothing.

In the event of rain or snow, shoes are not allowed in the bedrooms or the

activity rooms, so bring some slippers or sandals for indoor use and other

shoes for outdoor use. We will have some time to allow for some hiking or

mountain trips so bring appropriate shoes for this.

Electricity:

The supply in the UK is 240 volts, a.c. 50Hz. Sockets are usually 13 amp, square-

pin in most buildings. More than one low current rating appliance may be

operated from the same supply point, by using an adaptor (i.e. radios, electric

clocks etc.). The use of adaptors for operating high current rating appliances is

not recommended (i.e. electric heaters, toasters, irons etc.). Please keep in

mind the UK format so you can bring a suitable adaptor.

Currency:

UK uses the Pound Sterling but we can find places and banks everywhere for

exchange. If you want to change at the airport you can but generally it is not the

best rate and you will be charged a fee. Most establishments accept credit cards.

We suggest you bring spending money though as we might not have access to

banks during the project times.

Remember health insurance is your responsibility so make sure you have E111 or

any other private medical insurance. Also you are required to have travel

insurance. Please note that each participant is required to have travel insurance

and health insurance and it is considered as a contribution from the participants

pharmacies here but if you need prescription medication you cannot buy them

over the counter without a prescription. Also please inform us of any medical

conditions we need to be aware of in the registration application. If participants

have any allergies especially to food this needs to be expressed in the

Cultural Nights:

We will have a cultural night for each country, so feel free to bring food

and drinks and traditional clothing that you want to share with the other

participants. We will have a TV or projector for presentations so please

bring what you need. We recommend to make your nights interactive. The

videos should not be more than 5 minutes long as participants usually get

bored after a while. Try and make your country presentations asinteractive as possible. We do not have access to the kitchen so please

bring all the items you need or purchase them in the UK before your night.

The venue has WiFi access but it’s not free. There is an openzone from a

British Telecomunication company and participants that wish to have

internet access all the time may purchase available packages from their

site when they connect. As a hosting organisation we also have a package

at the same company and for activities that internet access is necessary

we will share freely an account during those specific sessions on specific

laptops. You may also obtain a data plan with a sim card at thesupermarket that is relatively near to the venue at very low prices.
