WHAT TO ACHIEVE The project stood for the improvement of decision-making in Youth Work. During the training, participants could learn project management strategy, strategic thinking, leadership process, and entrepreneurship methods. Youth Workers tried the above by using multicultural dialogue, multidimensional theories, and non-formal education to be applied in youth communities. The project idea arises from MARK's experience in youth work. MARK implemented international activities, strategic partnership projects, local events, and cultural and artistic workshops. The project focused on improving the decision-making process in the youth field. The participants learnt new methods, strategy, strategic and critical thinking, project management, leadership and entrepreneurship. Youth workers received various tools and methods, using multicultural dialogue, multidimensional theories, empiric data, and non-formal education to be applied afterwards to their youth and communities.
