Informing 1000 young people through an online campaign about the unemployment situation and what solutions exists in order to maximize their chances of applying for a job. 4. Developing the capacity to individually complete their Europass Curriculum Vitae for each participant. Participants will learn how to complete an Europass CV and adapt it to the culture and job they apply for. 5.
