Objectives of the project are the following: to empower youth workers methodologies and innovation in social inclusion sector, to broaden knowledge about social inclusion and youth work in Europe through best practices, to discuss and debate about equality and equity in the future of Europe, to empower youth work by the application of the European Pillar of Social Rights, to design a space for youth work where to express and have open dialogue about social inclusion and what threatens it, and to generally boost social inclusion of young people. The project also contributes to the 3 Erasmus+ programme priorities: Promotion of active citizenship, young people’s sense of initiative and youth entrepreneurship including social entrepreneurship; Inclusion and diversity in all fields of education, training, youth and sport; and Increasing quality, innovation and recognition of youth work.
