The Training course included the participation of 27 youth workers from the following Countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, North Macedonia, Sweden, Turkey
The training combined different kinds of non-formal learning modules, based on introductory lessons, games and group works, professional lectures and public dissemination events, including a living library event that took place during the mobility
Thanks to the activities carried out throughout the project, participants had the opportunity to improve their key competences, as defined in the Youthpass and specific in relation to the topics of the Training.
In particular, the involved participants and NGOs developed broader perspectives and competences to implement new activities related to topics of social inclusion and integration of migrants and refugees, diversity, intercultural dialogue and in general about the protection of human rights, also getting more familiar with the living library methodology that was implemented during the Training and that can be further implemented and replicated in participating Countries' realities.
