Therefore, the objectives of HUBsters training are:
- To define own roles of Youth Leaders in supporting youth participation;
- To self-evaluate and develop Youth Leaders’ competences;
- To equip Youth Leaders with tools and resources to continuously support youth participation and enable them to exchange their experience;
- To support them to plan international and transnational youth projects answering needs of their local societies.
The participants were Youth Leaders and a typical Youth leader is:
- Influencer who can encourage the youth to be active and motivated;
- Holder of experience and inspiration needed to involve youngsters in something meaningful and beneficial for the society;
- Familiar with needs of the youngsters in the local community and their specific lifestyle;
- The one who can help youngsters to build their own taste, opinion on important social and cultural issues and define their life values;
- The main trigger and inestimable player in the European youth work field.
In total 19 participants, age 18 - 25 years old and they were from Slovenia, Germany, Ireland, Cyprus, Hungary, Spain, Bulgaria, Poland, Latvia and Greece.
