On 3 April, we successfully delivered our Youth Foresight Workshop under the Erasmus+ project “For Youth Information (FYI)” at the BK Plus offices in Nicosia, bringing together 20 young participants in an interactive and hands-on learning experience.

During the session, participants were introduced to foresight and the key outputs of the FYI project, including the FYI Manual, and explored the full pathway from horizon scanning and trend analysis to imagining future scenarios and developing action-oriented plans. Through collaborative exercises such as trend identification, the 2x2 Matrix, and Backcasting, participants worked in groups across multiple spaces, exchanging ideas and building practical solutions for the future.

The workshop generated strong engagement and meaningful outputs, with participants developing future scenarios and concrete action pathways, while also reporting a knowledge increase of over 30% and satisfaction levels above 90%. The session concluded with participants joining and strengthening the FYI online community, extending the impact beyond the workshop itself.

Cybersecurity skills for SMEs are more important than ever!
We’re excited to share the latest Cyber Up Project Newsletter, highlighting progress in supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to strengthen their cybersecurity awareness and resilience. Through research, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration across Europe, our consortium is working to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap and promote practical, accessible learning solutions tailored to SMEs.

Project update: Insights gathered from interviews and surveys with VET educators and SMEs are already began shaping the project’s direction and ensuring its relevance to real market needs. Additionally, the national research phase has now been successfully completed across partner countries, providing valuable insights into the cybersecurity needs and gaps faced by SMEs. Building on these findings, a comprehensive Cybersecurity Synthesis Report will soon be released, which will guide the development of targeted training courses and practical learning resources.

⏭️ Project Update | FYI – Foresight for Youth Information

We’re excited to share the latest developments of FYI, an Erasmus+ project empowering young people and youth workers with foresight skills to actively explore and shape the future.

In recent months, our partners successfully delivered pilot youth foresight workshops across Europe (Bulgaria 🇧🇬 , Slovenia 🇸🇮 , Cyprus 🇨🇾 , Estonia 🇪🇪 , Slovakia 🇸🇰), bringing the project’s methods into practice. Through interactive activities, participants explored signals and trends, imagined alternative futures, collaborated on ideas for positive change, and developed initial actions and recommendations for their communities.

📚 Resources available
The FYI project continues to expand its learning ecosystem with both:
Informational resources (podcasts, videos) to introduce foresight concepts
Educational resources (methodology/foresight manual, interactive presentations, games, quizzes) designed to make future-thinking accessible, practical and engaging 🎯

❓ What’s next?
The next phase focuses on turning foresight into action.
Young people will continue to apply foresight tools, and explore emerging trends shaping their lives.
Through their experiences and feedback partners will develop policy recommendations to support further dialogue and contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive future.

🇯🇴⚙️ Back on Home Ground: Advancing TVET Reform in Jordan

We are pleased to share that we are contracted for a new nationwide assignment in Jordan. Under this new project, implemented in partnership with UNICEF Jordan - يونيسف الأردن and the Vocational Training Corporation (VTC), BK Plus Europe will lead the Change Management pillar of a comprehensive reform programme aimed at modernising Jordan’s TVET system and strengthening employment outcomes for young people.

This assignment brings together two of our strongest areas of expertise: governance and organisational reform, and technical and vocational education and training. The focus is on building a modern, agile and data-driven operating backbone for VTC - from governance structures and business processes to HR systems and a digital management information system that supports evidence-based decision-making.

Jordan has long been a key country for BK Plus Europe, and we are proud to contribute once again to a reform agenda that places youth, inclusion and employability at the centre🏁

As we start this new chapter, a big cheers to Simoni Tzouganatou, who takes on the role of Project Manager for this assignment🙌

Best of luck to the whole team — onward and upward. 🚀
