Through a training course of 7 working days our Youth Workers acquired information and materials related to the creation of social plans / projects, models to develop skills to adapt methods to the disadvantaged young people’s profile and community needs; presentations and argumentation skills; evaluated the situations in which they can implement social policies, were able to apply non-formal methods for supporting / presenting the created proposals, identified new working platforms / methods that support social entrepreneurship; know-how.

More in general, the whole frame of this projectwas set up for the development of our youth worker’ skills in non-formal education with young people with low opportunities and the creation of  methods for labor market inclusion.
