Therefore, it is necessary to provide youth with an opportunity to develop a certain set of essential intercultural competences that will not only boost their chances on the labor market, but will also strongly contribute to their social and personal development. Taken this context into account the TC “Keys to employability – Intercultural competenc” is aiming at exploring practical tools on developing intercultural competences that can be used for enhancing employability of young people.It will gaher 25 youth workers and youth leaders from program and EECA partner countries in Armenia, who already have some previous experience in the work with unemployed youth.
