Players and managers in Kalmar BTK will bring in new thoughts and ideas about club and how it can be developed and new cultural experiences and approaches leading to more tolerance, less racism and xenophobia. To increase the quality of our projects, we will implement the Youth Pass. We will use the Youth Pass both as a tool to make informal and non formal learning opportunities for the volunteer during his stay in the project , and that a certificate for informal learning.
