Young people all over the Eastern Partnership countries as well as the European Union face scarcity of equal opportunities of engagement, dropping out of many forms of participation and activism, including participation at local, national or international levels, academic programs and education, mobility projects, youth exchanges, seminars, volunteering programs under Erasmus+ program and other forms of youth activism. In Eastern Partnership countries, particularly in Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine youth is often unable to join the decision-making processes on youth issues at a local level. There are no efficient youth consultative bodies or youth councils in the municipalities and no proper procedures and culture to approach youth when youth issues are being dealt with. This is also coupled with limited access to information and not sufficient language skills. While in most of the EU Members States there are strategies and tools of engaging marginalized young people and young people based outside of the main administrative areas, the Eastern Partnership countries still face a lack of appropriate policies, strategies and infrastructure. Specifically in Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine there is a lack of youth participation structures mostly in rural and deprived urban areas and bridging those needs with the existing practices and tools in the EU can be very effective. The proposed project aims to empower youth organizations, youth workers, trainers and educators to develop inclusion and diversity orientation in their work with rural and unprivileged young people and build their competence in addressing the needs of marginalized youth. The project aims to reach the following main objectives: A. To develop youth work support systems and tools that will help youth organizations to incorporate inclusion and diversity orientation into their working environment, thus, making their work with marginalized youth and young people from rural and deprived urban areas more successful and inclusive;B. To promote participation and inclusion of marginalized youth and disadvantaged young people in the European programs in the fields of Education, Training and Youth;C. To develop a handbook that will introduce key theoretical aspects, the glossary of inclusion and participation as well as the practical tools, methods and instruments that can help organizations and individuals involved in youth work who seek to work with marginalized youth in their communities;D. To develop training and educational activities and tools on inclusion and participation trying them out during the activities of the project; E. To build mutually beneficial relationships and links with the already existing groups of young people, youth initiatives, youth organizations, youth workers and projects;F. To design and implement 24 Civil Society Fellowships and provide the Fellows and the hosting communities with an opportunity of knowledge and culture exchange. As a main impact of the project, the communication and interaction between the EU and the EaP partner countries in the field of empowering marginalized youth and building creative means for youth participation in the region will be consolidated. The activities proposed under this project will increase the linkage between public and private stakeholders, civil society organizations and local authorities as well as the project partners, young professionals, youth workers, researches, experts and stakeholders in the field of youth and education.Based on the achieved outcomes of our previous common projects and our experiences in home countries, we believe that marginalized, disadvantaged young people from rural and deprived urban areas should be reached through tools, methods and strategies that will be tailored to local needs and conducted in local languages. Those will be basically developed as a result of the entire project․
