Youth Employability Skills (YES) Project is created with the aim to show young people how to use the possibilities provided by various European programmes for the development and benefit of particular communities and municipalities. The project will be developed in multicultural environment of the Istria region, North-western Croatia, in a town of Vodnjan/Dignano. YES project will let volunteers not just become a part of the community of the town, but to contribute to cultural life of this municipality through searching for relevant funding opportunities and helping to implement cultural and educational projects. INFORMO, the receiving and coordinating organization, acts in the field of European projects development, addressing issues of unemployment, youth empowerment, environment, also consulting in the fields of tourism, entrepreneurship and vocational education. Providing information about European funding is one of the most important roles of the organization.

Other partners in this project are Etudes Et chantiers Espace Central (France), Stowarzyszenie Spoleczno-Kulturalne "Porozumienie Wschod - Zachod" (Poland) and Centro Solidarietà Incontro Ascolto e Prima Accoglienza ONLUS (Italy). Each of these organizations act as sending organization for one of three volunteers who will stay in Vodnjan for a period from 11 to 12 months. Topics addressed by YES project are international cooperation, labour market issues and EU citizenship and awareness. Volunteers will gain deep knowledge of European, learn the basics of European project management, learn how to develop small municipality using European funding opportunities.
