The seminar gathered appr. 40 representatives of school, youth welfare, social work, vocational training, the employment sector, parents and politicians from Scotland, Sweden, Italy and Germany, who all work with young people with fewer opportunities with or without a migration background. The main aim of the seminar was to improve the possibilities for those target groups for the transition from school to vocational traioning and work. The participants learned about the situation in the countries involved, discussed research results concerning the field, got an insight into good practice and innovative ideas how to better support the target groups and to strengthen their confidence and motivation. The results are implemented in the work of the paritcipating organisations on local level as well as in their international network, and they are disseminated locally, especially through contacts with politicians as well as chambers and employers associations.
