Using methods from non-formal and experiential learning and innovative concepts in youth work, it aims at achieving a better future society, infused by human rights respect, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and solidarity. In the end of the project, youth workers will have improved competences and better quality in their work and activities in favour of young people.
