Eye Opener in Czech Republic

General Description

The fact that young people can take part in the training gives a whole new dynamic to the process. Young people get first-hand knowledge on project building and the cooperation between youth leaders and young people gets better.

Some tasks are done in national groups, some in young people/youth leader groups and results are compared. The training shows evidence of young people’s competences in project planning on their own.
