Purpose of the training & Profile of participants:
International training “Inclusion of economically threatened young people through volunteering” is intended for in total 30 young men and women from Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece who face social and economic exclusion due to unemployment and financial difficulties produced by today’s unfavorable economic climate and lack of jobs for young people. Participants from other countries can’t be accepted.
This training is especially intended for those young people who didn’t before participate in international education events for young people, although the participation is also open for other youngsters who did.
We are organizing this training because we feel that young people, especially those who are economically threatened and potentially faced with some sort of social and economic exclusion aren’t very much motivated to volunteer. Therefore, we want to use this project to motivate these youngsters for volunteering and help them realize benefits volunteering can offer to them in terms of personal, social and professional advancement. This effort will also be beneficial for advancement of their social and economic status, as well as it will bring benefits to communities in which project participants live.
Working language of the training will be English. However, limited interpretation and linguistic support will be available for a number of participants who speak only basic English.
Venue:
Training will be hosted at Hotel “Gros” in Leskovac. Accommodation and food are paid by the organizer.
