The participants (and their organizations) will get the proper training on how to improve social inclusion of young people and how to influence public policy. Participants will also learn how to implement several activities (such as campaigns, festivals, etc.) in order to be able to contribute to the change of the policy regarding youth social inclusion. In that way, the participating organizations will be able to raise funds at their countries in order to contribute and affect the policy about youth social inclusion and understand in a better way the issues of young people. This will help the organizations to plan and implement better projects regarding youth social inclusion and more young people will be benefited The project will take place in Limassol (Cyprus) and will be hosted by NGO “KEY-Innovation in Culture Education and Youth”. 25 youth workers (3 from each partner country and 5 from Cyprus) will come to Cyprus for the needs of the project.
