Objectives

Through the implementation of the project, we aim to establish a space for the exchange of good practices, the setting of foundations for youth consultation, and an understanding of the mission of organizations in the youth sector. We will focus on young people being captured between their interests and desires and what the real world compels them into. We will establish discourse, connection and cooperation between all mentioned stakeholders, find new solutions, exchange proposals and good practices in this field, and above all, try to understand how we can add value to each other, while respecting the well-being of society and the environment on which such cooperations have influence. The goals of the project are to: - conduct an analysis of the situation in all participating countries (as part of the pre-activity – research of the interests of the youth, research of the opinion of youth in schools, research of the interest of the youth in job searching process) - as a main event of the project, organize a seminar for 25 people from 8 countries over the course of 5 days (including days of travel) to understand the interests of young people within education and employment systems and to look for alternative, new opportunities.
