Due to the lack of attractive and encouraging ways of working with young people, in the working area of partner organizations, young people are poorly involved in activities that enable them personal and career growth. The aim of the project, which will involve 57 young people aged between 13 and 29 (including young people with fewer opportunities, with geographical, social and economic barriers), is to develop a new tool and a program that will encourage young people to become active and to benefit from the opportunities offered by the local environment. The aim of the Slovenian and Croatian partner organizations (Youth Centre Šentjur and the Zagor Association Network) is to: Develop a special awarding system for collecting points that will attract young people to actively participate in the local environment and prospect in personal and career growth. Establish a network of youth promoters, young people that work with young people and take care of their animation and inclusion in the established awarding system. For realization of activities and achievement of desired results of the project, the methodology of non-formal education will be used based on the interaction and active participation of all participants (work in small groups, open discussions, debates, various creative techniques for finding ideas, research, testing ...) and learning through experience and active exchange of knowledge and information between participants (cooperative learning). Activities, in which young people will participate, will be based on the learning experience, initiative and entrepreneurship of young people.
