Description of the tool

"Research on patterns among youth in NEET situations"
Within the context of this project, a qualitative research is conducted among 60 young people who had an experience of being in a NEET situation in Latvia, Slovenia and Croatia. Results are categorized into the following six categories of patterns – living conditions, health status, relationships, education, career and work experience.

Toolkit "Constellation"
It is developed as a resource for prevention which aims at supporting young people at risk before they become inactive through fostering social inclusion of youth, especially in rural areas.
The content of the Toolkit “Constellation” is a resource for youth workers and educators to work on prevention through:
● growing self-reliance in terms of empowering them to rely on their own inner strengths and resources rather than those of others;
● increasing independence in terms of being independent as an individual who is free to make own choices;
● developing a sense of belonging in terms of working on relationships that are important to them, and which have an impact on their sense of belonging to a family, a school, a social group, a classroom, a community, etc.
