The aim of the training course was to develop competences, knowledge and experience of the youth workers in order to support disadvantaged young people in making positive changes and decisions, overcoming the obstacles through choosing the safe ways and engage them with active civil life.

In this project, it was gathered together experienced youth workers, who work directly with disadvantaged youth having different kind of fewer opportunities and disabilities and who were strongly interested in developing their competences. Best practices, specific methods and tools about the topics such as counselling, coaching, non-formal learning in working and experiential education were shared and a TOOLKIT which reflects  project's working outcomes was prepared and distributed to other youth workers too worldwide.
