The problem of social exclusion of young people and disintegration in the labor market arises as a consequence of the absence of key competencies for lifelong learning and entrepreneurial thinking and attitudes, which has severe and limiting effects: -Number of young people in social exclusion and disintegration; -Number of young NEETs; -Number of unemployed young people. In a constantly evolving world, the disparities between young people is an ever-increasing reality. The lack of key competences for lifelong learning, entrepreneurial thinking and attitudes and orientation hinders the integration of young Europeans in the labor market and in society. In order to minimize a number of situations allied to the difficulty of integration in precarious jobs and socially deviant behavior, we implemented this project in order to improve the scenario. Our action has imposed the need for analysis in view of the difficulties we encounter when dealing with under-represented social groups such as ethnic minorities and migrants who face greater difficulties in social and professional insertion.
