The implementation of the youth project “Youth leader path” aimed to create a concrete path of development for youth workers by using the ETS competence model for youth workers to work internationally. It aimed to increase the capacity of the involved youth workers to work with young people, to integrate them into their organisations and to create strategies for engaging young people in the community using a rights-based approach. The mobility was guided by three specific objectives that focus on acquiring deep understanding and knowledge of the social rights framework and the policy fields that are relevant to young people in rural communities; strengthening participants’ competence to design, run and evaluate non-formal education and training activities at local and European level, using the ETS Competence Model for Youth Workers and a rights-based approach; and enabling and supporting youth workers and their local organisations to design educational projects that address obstacles in the access of young people from rural areas to social rights.
