Objectives

Project "Reaching Youth" served as a platform for organizations involved in youth work focusing on disadvantaged kids and young people.
The main objective of the project was to improve particular Social/Youth Work methods, approaches, and techniques of the involved organizations. The issue that Project "Reaching Youth" was addressing is the current trend of young people spending the majority of their time using technology.
Such a reality creates a serious issue that leads to a decline in the number of clients using social services for kids and teenagers, youth work organizations, social enterprises, etc. The project's objective was to tackle this challenge by helping involved organizations in adapting to this current trend and develop attractive alternatives to the "online world" of their clients and youth in general.
Project "Reaching Youth" also addressed the issue of the unpleasant reality of various minorities, ethnics and communities that lack the possibility to fully engage in the society they live in, which includes also the young generation, that could be frustrated by this state of affairs and therefore becomes more prone to pathological behavior such as crime, substance abuse, aggressivity, radicalization, etc. Therefore this project aimed to give a possibility for involved youth workers to share and improve particular methods of how to reach these marginalized groups of young people and help them to share their opinions to the general public on social issues and topics that matter to them. The participating organizations also develop their skills regarding social work with the target group "youth at risk".
