About the project

The objectives of this seminar are: to map the new challenges youth are facing in the  labour market and in their involvement in the lifelong learning  process; to reflect on the new needs youth organizations and their target groups are having; to promote the exchange of best practices and the transfer of innovation; to enable participants to reflect on the already successful good practices and develop new ones; to develop competences in setting up activities for young people from marginalized communities and analyse the challenges they face in their everyday work with youth with fewer opportunities; to better understand the use of non-formal learning for achieving their goals; to create a platform for the development of common projects in the near future; to share knowledge about “Youth in Action” programme and the new 2014-2020 programme; to draft follow-up activities.
