We made a research that covered both general information and country-specific information open to be accessed in the final products of all 6 IOS; We developed tools, educational methods, and resources for youth workers, teachers and other support persons to build up the skills, knowledge and attitudes in young people needed for transitioning to adult life; that can be accessed in Survival Manual, MOOC and Educators KIT; We produced concrete products, tested by TG1 and TG2 CONTEXT We applied for this project because there was a lack of information on the topic of transition to adulthood; The info on the 5 topics (Housing, Financial Literacy, Citizenship and Politics, Employability and Health) was dispersed across multiple channels, which made access difficult; Also the info was not written in a youthful way, which made it not noticeable and generated many doubts for target group 1 (youth people in transition to active life). AIM and OBJECTIVES In the process of implementing the project we have addressed the needs of TG1 by collecting and centralizing info to inform and support young people in their transition to active life; using this info we made tools and resources for youth workers, teachers, and people who work with TG1, to be able to support young people and build up their skills and attitudes. “AdultLife” final results can empower youth by guiding them in the transition to becoming an adult; we made this happen by giving verified info in communication channels already used by our target group as examples: the podcasts, websites, videos, and survival manual. DIRECT PAX and TARGET GROUPS The participants directly involved in our activities were (TG2) trainers, youth workers, video producers, graphic designers and graphic artists, teachers, social workers, psychologists, and youth work managers but also (TG1) young people who were also testing each of our product.
