To support unemployed and disengaged young people, as well as those who are lonely, it is important to find new methods and approaches. Promoting the well-being and inclusion of young people is a key issue for our society from the perspective of sustainable future. The HOPE project aims to enhance the employment opportunities for young people who are out of work and education, especially women and individuals belonging to gender minorities, through group-based empowering activities. In group activities, young people interested in digital culture engage in guided activities together, where they learn new skills and experience a sense of inclusion, self-efficacy, and peer support. The project is implemented in the regions of South Karelia and Uusimaa. Project objectives: Strengthening the employment prospects of young people in NEET situations, especially women and individuals belonging to gender minorities, through group-based digital hobby activities that support well-being and inclusion. Inspiring participants to explore fields such as technology, IT, and digital industries. Building the HOPE path: Establishing a model of group activities that can enhance well-being and inclusion in various areas and can be implemented by different actors in the future. Project activities: Action 0: Network activation and HOPE path planning: Activate the network established during the application phase to support the activities and acquire necessary new contacts. It is important to particularly involve youth services, educational institutions, and companies, and to have strong links with employment services. Plan the steps of the HOPE path by utilizing previous knowledge and experiences, while also considering the needs of young people. Action 1: Group activities and the HOPE path: Implement group activities, which are at the core of the HOPE path model. The content of the activities includes various aspects of digital culture hobbies. Action 2: Communication: Recruit participants for the project activities through communication, find partners from companies, schools, and youth services, and disseminate information about the project results. Communication should take into account gender sensitivity and involve the participating young people. Action 3: Project management, evaluation, and institutionalization of activities: Evaluate the impact of the model on the well-being and inclusion of participants through initial, follow-up, and final surveys during the project. Institutionalize the established model as part of youth and/or employment services. Spread information about the effects of the model widely to other stakeholders, such as social and healthcare sectors and organizations. Project outcomes: The developed HOPE path model is available to partner organizations and can be adapted in different sectors. The model supports the transition of employment services to municipalities by strengthening local multidisciplinary work for supporting unemployed young people. The project has reached at least 130 young people aged 16-29 who are out of work and education. Among them, 70% have applied for jobs, 5% have obtained employment, and 14% are in education after the project. Collaboration among different actors to support NEET young people has intensified. The young people who participated in the project have found paths to employment and education, and their well-being and inclusion have demonstrably strengthened.
