METHODOLOGY
The participants will be provided with an overview of 4C main 21st century skills/competences:

• Critical thinking,
• Creativity,
• Communication,
• Collaboration.

The participants will have the possibility to “taste” these skills/competences and get the idea of how they can be developed and improved during the youth work within various youth/social/personal and professional development initiatives and projects.

Some of the methods and tools that will be used to reach the objectives of the projects:

• brainstorming, world cafe, discussions, role plays, simulations;
• improvisation theatre;
• open space workshops;
• fairs;
• digitalized activities and the development of the manual;
• various reflection methods and many more.

In the end the participants and partner organizations will get the digital manual on the introduction to 4C skills/competences that due to its digital form may be applicable both for the off-line use in the direct work with participants and applicable specifically for the on-line use.
