The main activity of the project is to conduct workshops for youth workers from the countries of the project partners in the period from 09/10/2017 to 17/09/2017.28 participants will take part, two coaches from Poland will lead. Workshops will take place in Leszno Township, Leszno County, Leszno Municipality, Wielkopolskie Voivodeship and will include final event during ACTIVE NGO - local NGO picnic, where participants can practise knowledge gained and can network with around 200different inicstitutions.The workshops will cover the use of animation as a non-formal education method, a tool that promotea social inclusion in the context of working with people who are at risk of social exclusion, socially excluded, affected by diminishing (Migrants, refugees, NEET, people who are poverty-stricken, socially inactive, poorly socialized, unfamiliar with the language, or who are poorly familiar with the language).The project resulted from the needs of partner organizations. Due to the changing social and political systems have been placed or will be placed in front of the necessity to develop their tools of non-formal education methods and animation in terms of social inclusion, integration, social inclusion, breaking down barriers and cultural differences.Project participants are youth workers from the program countries (Two people from each partner organization plus two coaches from Poland). Participants are part of the organization's staff, carry out international projects, and animations provide tools for them to reach their target audience.Participants have experience in the field of work with people with fewer opportunities, disadvantaged people, refugees and migrants. At the same time working with children and young people for their local communities. They use non-formal education methods, innovative learning methods and a range of authoring tools.Participants are people experienced in the work, oriented to their development by learning about new forms, methods and tools of work.At the same time, partner organizations implement EVS projects. The project is designed to respond to the needs of the sending organization for equipping of the volunteer, who is sent to different volunteering places,for him to provide the best possible service in different conditions (Lack of resources or low availability) or cultural-social contexts (In which countries are badly accepted activities, which require touching another person; What dynamic / static methods do they prefer?)Another important element of the project is the consolidating effects of the project. Related to the implementation of mobility effects - trained trainees will conduct workshops for other non-governmental organizations. They will also conduct activities for their target audience using methods learned during their participation in TC.The project is the response of partner organizations to the changing demand for working methods in the context of the current political and social situation in Europe. Attention should be paid to tools that promote social inclusion and do not require good language skills to support values such as active citizenship and participation, the fight against stereotypes and prejudices.

'It's in your D.N.A.(Development Needs Actions)' was a 10 day youth exchange that was held in Kannavia village in Nicosia district of Cyprus during the period 4th - 13st of March 2016 . It brought together 35 participants aged 18-30, mainly with fewer opportunities and especially with financial, geographical and social obstacles, coming from 6 different European countries: Cyprus, Croatia,Italy,Slovenia,Poland and Romania.During this youth exchange the participants worked on developing and improving their communication, self-management and personal skills in order to increase their employability. Also, they had the chance to share their own experience and good practice examples in order to learn from each other. Main objective of this youth exchange was to give the participants the knowledge and skills needed these days in the environment of increased youth unemployment. Non-formal learning methods, such as: workshops, public speaking practice, simulation game and many others were used in order to reach the objectives of the project.This youth exchange had positive impact on personal and social development of the participants: they gained and improved skills that are important for young people living in the enlarged Europe like intercultural competence, ability to work in international team, language skills. This project helped participants to raise self-confidence when being in unusual situations and also increased their interest about other countries and cultures.

The project we want to carry out is meant to answer a need for a reinforced cooperation between European youth organizations and the building of new partnerships between civil society from islands and mainland. This project is designed to meet collective needs of organizations from European Islands and small communities from mainland Europe that hold similar experiences on working in promoting tolerance, acceptance of diversity and with youngsters with fewer opportunities, but have different work practices and methods. The present project proposes a Contact Making Seminar, that will be held in Puerto de la Cruz, between the 1st and the 6th of November 2016, where representatives of 10 European NGOs will get together and try to find ways to work together against discrimination, in its many forms, and increase the involvement of youngsters with fewer opportunities in projects of Erasmus + and others.

"From idea to action. Project lab. 11-16 January 2018. 22 participants from Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Romania and Spain. Many times we have a concrete idea of the project and we plan to apply for it within the Erasmus + program. But we are not clear about some concepts, we do not know very well how to reflect it in the form, we are not sure of adapting to the philosophy of the program ... and we would need some input or advice to raise the quality of the project and adjust it to the application criteria. In addition, we need reliable and competent partners who share our way of dealing with projects. “From idea to action. Project Lab” aimed at enabling potential applicants to hand in high quality applications in the frame of Erasmus+: Youth (in KA1). It gave participants the chance to develop their project ideas in exchange with trainers, experienced beneficiaries and NGOs and get to know more about specific aims and objectives of the programme and how to write the application form, focusing on the ability of the projects as a vehicle to transmit the common fundamental values to our society. To achieve this we offered an international learning experience that allowed participants to develop their skills and competences in the creation of quality mobility projects. Our objectives were: - Enable potential applicants to apply for an application within Erasmus +: Youth KA1 - Raise quality of projects - Contribute to the participants' understanding of aims and objectives of Erasmus +: Youth and see if their project ideas match these aims and objectives, focusing on the ability of KA1 projects as a vehicle to transmit the common fundamental values to our society. - Facilitate an exchange between newcomers and experienced beneficiaries in order to inspire applicants and receive information based on practices from the field - Provide the chance to meet potential international and reliable partners to develop future projects This seminar was a practical learning experience, built on the specific needs of the participants. Our working methods were based on the principles of non-formal education and sociocultural education. We combined theory with practical learning, experience exchanging and self-reflection. All participants were invited to actively take part in the seminar throughout dynamic and interactive activities, workshops, simulation, case-studies, collaborative work activities, debates, etc. During the project we worked on the complete elaboration of the mobility project, from the first steps when the idea arises until the evaluation of the same. This was the thread of the work that we developed. The participants in this training course were members, volunteers or workers in their organizations and they were willing to learn everything about Key Action 1 and the processes of elaboration of projects that can be developed in that framework and then put it into practice and develop their own activities. As a tangible main result we have some collective creation videos, ""Drops of experience"", that consist of a collection of ideas and advice to be taken into account in each section of a mobility project within the key action 1. It is also a result new quality projects of mobility, with a strong content and transmission of fundamental values common to our society, which created during the seminar and make possible morer participation of young people in international activities."
