"Let’s get youth Up & Running" was a training course for developing basic youth work competences. It was for members of youth organisations who wanted to learn more about being a youth worker, and engage with the young people they work with in active participation – both in youth work itself and in society. Who wanted to develop a sense of citizenship with the young people, and to reach out to and work with young people with fewer opportunities from deprived urban areas and rural areas through developing a cross-sectorial approach to youth work in their community. The objectives were: - Develop participants’ competences in the profession of youth work; - Gain understanding on how to identify the needs of young people; - Develop strategies to engage young people in active participation; - Develop an understanding of citizenship – local and European; - Develop competencies for working towards inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities; - Explore the advantages of a cross-sectorial approach to youth work.
