The TC will gather 27 participants, including training team, that are coming from 8 different countries: Czech Republic, Croatia, Cyprus, Romania, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and Poland.
The participants of this project are youth workers, youth leaders or multipliers that encounter in their work with youngsters that are facing issues exclusion or discrimination on any ground. Most of them are coming from deprived geographical, social or economical areas. Even though they have in working with young people in their local areas, because of their low access to information, new ideas and methods they cannot fully meet the need of their work. Since they have to constantly enhance their working performance, as well as develop according to
society’s needs, we believe that it is highly

Also, we want to emphasize the need of networking that occurs in this kind of projects, since it is clear that it helps in developing youth work, which benefits both the participants of this project, as well as the youngsters they work with.
