The aim of the project was to increase the efficiency of the youth work through promoting and raising capacities for cross-sectorial cooperation and youth participation as well as its implementation on different governmental and non-governmental levels and sectors, working in youth field. The project was a seminar with study visit elements, combined with local activities and workshops which resulted also in partnership building and follow-up projects. First, the project invested in the professional growth of the youth workers, youth leaders and stakeholders from the local municipalities, professionals and governmental organizations, through study visits at local municipalities, local NGOs, educational institutions where participants had an opportunity to learn the best practices of implemented projects in the field of Youth, and cross-sectorial partnership. The project gave space for developing new partnerships, learning best practices in partner organisation and bringing new ideas/inspiration of methods/tools and activities back to participant´s organisations. The project aimed to encourage and provide best practices to stakeholders, which would help to increase their active participation in decision making process on local and national level in their countries and develop long and short-term strategies and policies with involvement of young people.
