dear Guests

Thank you for your participation in the My Generation at Work final event in Station Hofplein Rotterdam Did you have fun as we all were drawn into the drama lsquoPlay it forwardrsquo played by Powerboathellip and did you take part in meaningful exchanges in the learning cafe afterwards As a temporary renewal network of professionals policymakers and youngsters from 12 European cities we hope so

Let us know via twitter (MyGenW) or facebook (MyGenerationWork) if our understanding on how to bridge the growing gap between school and jobs helped you As professionals we will continue to challenge ourselves to step out of our project management and policy making mode to get into a more creative mode to try out new ideas and make them fly

Please find in this Digital Memory Aid pictures quotes stories and references to our meeting and pleasehellipGo for it

The main objective of the My Generaton at Work project has been to promote the employability of young people in a changing labour market with special focus on enterprising skills and attitudes Todayrsquos news is filled with messages of crisis and change in the global markets and the world of work It is a confusing precarious and scary world for the young generation thinking about careers skills and jobs Europe is aging post-war generations are being pensioned but the emerging opportunities and the new world of work is not the same as it was for them Finding and sustaining a job is profoundly different today and tomorrow and young people are exposed to sudden changes precarious employment and careers and a need for continual re-adaption At the same time the changes open up new possibilities challenge old ways of building skills finding employment and creating jobs Finding employment is no longer just a linear process of basic education ndashvocational education ndashlooking for a ready job ndashbeing employed (and staying that way) Finding jobs and carving out a career today and tomorrow calls for enterprising attitudes and skills The situation calls for new solutions and better multi-stakeholder cooperation ndashespecially with the young people themselves

intermeZZo the faCtorY of Great ideas

Thank you all for being good sports and participating in the interactive play led by Powerboat Most of us sympathized with the happy but vulnerable WorKer Some of us laughed at (maybe identified) with the rigorous and eagerly controlling manaGer And we all dozed off slightly listening to the endless inspirational words and words of the founderhellip We all happily created new ideas for the factory in our own founder WorKer and manaGer wayhellip until things went out of hand Who created the chaos Who went out of control Who should be hung The WorKer The founder The manaGer hellip Or one of us Well participants you were not going to let this happen That is where the story endedWatch the video here

PoWer BoatHi Irsquom Bas and my theatre group is called Power boat The reason we started making theatre plays is that we thought the relationship between theatre makers and audiences was really strange My girlfriend was standing on the stage showing all kinds of emotions but she could not see the audience and their response to her It was non efficient to work in this way The fourth wall should be broken down letrsquos try to get everybody involved in the factory of great ideas

My name is Jouke Irsquom an architect The final conference of My Generation at Work is held in an area in development This venue is located in an old train station which has been out of service for the last 3 years Until 5 years ago this was an abandoned place Now there are plans for developing 200 meter high skyscrapers however there is no money and there are a lot of vacancies of m2 office space in this area As architects we thought it would be a pity to demolish a perfect building and therefore we proposed place making PLaCe maKinG is a different WaY of thinKinG more smallscale bottom up development with citizens and building on top of what is already there Placemaking still requires a vision for the area how to use the public space and how to connect places Here the Luchtsingel came in a temporary bridge that directly connects the Central railway station to the Hofbogen As we didnrsquot have money we used crowdfunding to make the bridge Everybody could buy a plank for only 25 euros We made the bridge in different phases so people could see from the beginning that something is happening The bridge generates aWareness

examPLe of hYBridisinG from WorKinG Life Imaging a transporter who works as a driver for a furniture store Traditionally (s)he would be trained as a driver and would transport the furniture and (s)he would be a salaried worker But then things start happening Furniture is no longer sold as whole but to be assembled The company gets a business idea why not sell also the service of assembling (perhaps of customers ending up with a pile of unassembled lsquoikea stuffrsquo and complaining) Now this service can be provided by the driver lsquohybridisingrsquo to be an assembler too with new skills And this can happen by also hybridising the work contract form (s)he can become a subcontractor of hisher original company or set up perhaps after some experience hisher own company This could further hybridise into providing services in say assembling home appliances electronics etc and further into a network of other providers where different skills and services are combined

The Digital Memory Aid is a storage place for newborn ideas and concepts During a good brainstorm or envisioning session participants see new connections and come up with new ideas They can see these ideas in front of them New ideas are very volatile itrsquos hard to capture them or transfer to people who were not present during the brainstorm session A week later the ideas often have faded out of our memory We recall a vague notion of a good feeling and positive energy but we cannot easily reproduce what we had in mind The Digital Memory Aid contains everything that can help remember and capture the energy of what happened in the brainstorm sketches impressions opinions quotes and ideals The Digital Memory Aid is a place where concepts and images are structured further and made communicable In the Digital Memory Aid all ideas are good The ideas that generate most energy should be explored further
