GearUp!
An Erasmus+ project to improve young people's wellbeing and help them make informed choices about their future.
GearUp! develops good practices and tools for the career guidance of children aged 8 to 14. It builds on experiences already running in the province of Cuneo, such as Video Esploriamo (developed with CRC Innova) and the Rondò dei Talenti, and brings them into a European network. It is one of the European projects of CFP Cemon International.

Career guidance and youth wellbeing in Europe
GearUp! promotes young people's wellbeing and supports them in making informed choices about their future. It strengthens career guidance as a way to recognise talents, prevent early school leaving and keep students engaged, in more inclusive and motivating learning environments.
Schools, training providers, universities and educational associations from six countries (Italy, Germany, Poland, Greece, Croatia and Spain) work together to give teachers, guidance counsellors and trainers practical tools and skills to support young people as they grow and choose a career.
The approach is participatory and involves students, families and local communities. The project continues the work of the Erasmus+ project "Talent Space" and contributes to a European network for inclusive guidance, in line with Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda and the eTwinning 2024 theme "Wellbeing at school".
