During 28 months, the main implemented activity by the EvolYou team was a Didactic Experimentation – the pilot –, which has foreseen training courses and Living Labs of mentoring in tandem: through a one-to-one matching, mentees were able to find a mentor each from the specific branch they were interested in.

The pilot was tested in 4 of the 6 partner countries, specialising target groups: in Italy, young migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, aged 18-30; in Spain, young people aged 16-20 undergoing Basic Vocational Training with special educational needs or persistent economic problems; in France, apprentices and students in vocational education who are at risk of dropping out or NEETs, aged 15-25; in Finland, migrants, low qualified apprentices and VET dropping out students, aged 18-30.

The output resulting from the pilot was a collection of 4 VET Curricula for as many EU countries. About 35 pages, it is available in the 6 languages of the project (English, Italian, Spanish, French, German and Finnish).

In addition, a Methodological Manual was produced to describe the methodology to be applied in the project. The development of this output was strictly linked to the pilot, following timing and feedback from it, up to the fine-tuning of the methodology itself and production of the training curricula.

The Manual, about 100 pages translated into the 6 languages of the project, is dedicated to the implementation of a new model of mentoring in tandem. Part 1 (Guidelines) sets up the pilot implementation; part 2 (The Model) collects the documentation supporting training and mentoring sessions, incorporating contributions from the partner testers and annexes.
