Momentum World

Momentum World is a not for profit international education and training provider based in the UK. Our mission is to enhance the career prospects of young people. Our aims are: • To inspire young people and develop their employability. • To increase young people’s understanding of global issues, and access to international projects. • To facilitate employment opportunities and career pathways. • To add value to formal education. • To promote intercultural understanding and inclusion Alongside these aims, we are now working within 4 strategic themes reflecting both our knowledge and expertise as an organisation, and the types of partnerships we have developed over the last 10 years. All our projects now support one or more of these themes: - Reducing social isolation - Employability - Intercultural learning and heritage - Digital media We have a strong track record in all these areas, working across formal and non-formal education. Our courses encourage young people to develop internationally transferable / transversal skills for employability. We emphasise progressive personal development through long term engagement with young people. For this reason, partnership with other organisations is important to us. We work with schools as well as non-formal youth groups. We have extensive experience in partner building, youth exchanges, training courses for youth workers, policy dialogue and conferences, and a wide range of thematic projects on inclusion, special education, outdoor education, film and media, leadership, and more. We have organised or been partners in well over 100 European projects, including all Key Actions of Erasmus+. Our international partner network and project experience extends to more than 30 countries in Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia. We regularly advise other organisations on how to manage international projects and apply for funding. We specialise in the use of film and digital media as inclusive learning tools for young people. Most recently, we have pioneered the use of 360 degree virtual reality filming to produce training materials for youth workers, funded by Erasmus+. Working with partners in Poland and Italy, this is the first ever project to use VR technology for non-formal education.
