Building a Theory of Change in Euro-Mediterranean communities

The project aims to engage youth workers as responsible social actors and agents for change in their local community contexts and work with disadvantaged young people. Through a non-formal and creative learning process youth workers will be equipped with key competences and practical tools related to the ‘Theory of change” as a way to co-develop community-based projects targeting disadvantaged young people. Participants will be engaged to analyse complex problems in their local/regional communities and to develop social projects by applying and putting into practice “the theory of change”.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
