A seminar organised by the SALTO Inclusion Resource Centre in cooperation with the French NA (INJEP) for youth workers and project organisers working with urban youth or in disadvantaged urban settings - about how to use the European YOUTH programme as a tool to create meaningful projects for this target group in this context.
Aims & Objectives of the Urban Youth Seminar
Explore and analyse how international youth projects can be used to work with young people in disadvantaged (sub)urban areas.
More concretely:
- present good practices of previous urban youth projects and deduce principles for working effectively with this target group
- develop how the Youth in Action projects can contribute to change in young people's lives living in disadvantaged (sub)urban areas
There will be places for 60 participants at the Urban Youth seminar. The participants should be of the following profile:
- people directly working with youth in difficult or disadvantaged (sub)urban areas - this can be (volontary or paid) youth workers, social workers, educators, peers and others who are working with/organising projects for the target group in these areas
- who have organised/implemented international youth projects and cooperation activities in (sub)urban areas before - either within the YOUTH programme or other programmes or initiatives
- who have a good working knowledge of English, the working language of the seminar
available to actively attend the full duration of the course
- who are willing to participate into a follow-up questionnaire 6 months after the training course.
