The action is based on non-formal learning delivered by CSOs offering young people, especially girls, educational content supporting their active engagement, equal opportunities in both labour market and society. The most important distinctive feature of this program is the synergy of social and entrepreneurial competencies, applying innovative and active pedagogies, including open and digital learning tools. In its implementation, the action will promote civic, inter-cultural, social and relational competences, mutual understanding and respect, and ownership of democratic values and fundamental rights, enhancing critical thinking, financial and cyber literacy. Addressing the increasing diversity of learners and access to good quality inclusive mainstream education and training for all, including girls, while tackling discrimination, bullying, violence and stereotypes will be the basis for promotion of active citizenship in learning.

The overall aim is to introduce and enhance an innovative model of learning based on exchanges between Program (Netherlands and Belgium) and Partner Countries (Serbia and Albania), learning mobility and cooperation between youth CSOs and non-formal education providers.

The Coordinator of this two-year project which started in November 2018 is Pomoc deci (Children and Youth Support Organisation) and it includes three partners – Aflatoun International, EPTO (European Peer Training Organisation) and Partnere per Femijet.
