Project description<\/h1>

Young people are an important and fundamental group that constitute our society, capable of changing and influencing the attitudes and behaviors of their peers, but also, in children, adults and communities.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Young people are the present and future of our society.<\/strong> Youth organizations play an important role in supporting and empowering young people so that they can make decisions that bring sustainable and positive change to their lives, but also to the people in their communities. This type of training becomes even more important in young people with fewer opportunities and young NEETs<\/strong> (they are not studying, working or attending any type of training). For this to happen, it is also necessary to empower youth organizations and youth workers with effective methodologies and tools to empower young people.<\/p>

Youth Empowerment aims to provide answers to the needs of young people, youth associations and youth workers<\/strong> through different activities.<\/p>

General goals:<\/strong>
\u2022 Strengthen the partners network who daily work with young people and use methodologies to empower them to participate actively in their organizations and community;
\u2022 Promote the Erasmus+ Program and its added value as an important inclusion tool for young NEETs and with fewer opportunities;
\u2022 Prepare youth organizations and youth workers with tools and methodologies that are effective in fostering youth participation in civic engagement and preparing them for the increasingly competitive labor market;
\u2022 Discuss the role of youth organizations in the social, personal and professional development of young people;
\u2022 Encourage intercultural learning through non-formal education.<\/p>

Main activities:<\/strong><\/p>
