Partnership-building Activity "SOCIAL INCLUSION OF YOUTH WITH FEWER OPPORTUNITIES"

Social inclusion is a term that can be used to describe a series of positive actions to achieve equality of access to goods and services, to assist all individuals to participate in community and society, to encourage the contribution of all persons to social and cultural life and to be aware of and to challenge all forms of discrimination. By ensuring that the marginalised and those living in poverty have greater participation in decision-making which affects their lives, will allow them to improve their standard of living and overall well-being. *** What are the factors of social exclusion? • Lack of money or other resources • Discrimination against particular groups or categories of people • "Physical" barriers such as a lack of transport or the absence of services/facilities in an area • Lack of confidence to participate in society • Lack of skills/qualifications which may be needed for social and economic participation. For example, in addition to poverty, other factors that might cause people or communities to be socially excluded might include their: • social background; • inability to drive a car; • inability to qualify to join a particular group or association; • locality or district lacking, or having restricted, access to adequate facilities and amenities; • reduced or limited opportunities for social engagement or career prospects. Inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities An important priority for the European Union is that the Youth in Action Programme should be accessible to everyone, including young people with fewer opportunities. Young people with fewer opportunities are young people that are at a disadvantage compared to their peers because they face one or more of the situations and obstacles mentioned in the non-exhaustive list below. In certain contexts, these situations or obstacles prevent young people from having effective access to formal and non-formal education, transnational mobility and participation, active citizenship, empowerment and inclusion in society at large. We will understand the different Social and Economical obstacles, Disabilities, Educational Diffuculties, Cultural Differences in different participant countries. We will try to find appropraite partnership alternativies to produce innovative ways to help youngsters in fewer opportunities. This will be an unique opportunities for create new paths of cooperation. The activity will start on 24/05/2016 at 9,00 and will end on 29/04/2016 at 18,00.
