Background

This training course is organized in the framework of the Erasmus+: Youth in Action NA’s Strategic Partnership on Inclusion (SPI). The main objective of this partnership is to improve and increase the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities in the programme, in line with the Erasmus+ Inclusion and Diversity Strategy in the field of youth. This partnership fosters sustainable engagement and capacity building of organizations either already working with young people with fewer opportunities in international activities through E+: YiA and European Solidarity Corps or those organizations planning to do so. One of the three target groups that the partnership is focusing on is young people in NEET situation.

An important part of international cooperation is a strong network of organizations, especially when it comes to the involvement of young people with fewer opportunities. Many organizations struggle with this and therefore we host training to support the creation of those networks.
