It was held in Szeged, Hungary between 21-29 November2015 with 9 partners and 27 participants.The coordinator team consists of 5 people. Nowadays one of the most popular method is volunteering fight against NEET. Nevertheless, there is a huge gap between service and learning within voluntary projects, doesn’t matter we consider only local voluntary youth projects, or specifically European Voluntary Service projects. Although, voluntary activities should focus on personal learning processes of volunteers besides their good will for people they can help on. Young people in NEET need to foster their self – esteem, they need to know themselves much better, and self – confidence has to be enhanced in order to be able to act as full member of the societies which is the first step to apply for a job at least. So youth workers have to offer such type of voluntary activities for young people in NEET which help them to make the first step. The main focus of the voluntary activities goes to learning through service. Youth workers have to be able to invent, use and adapt creative and innovative non – formal educational methods, tools and or techniques which can provide opportunities for young people in NEET for competence development. Learning objectives of the training course are: To explore and adapt the best practices of voluntary youth work from the participated countries; To share and explore innovative youth work methods, tools and techniques regarding to self – directed learning within local and European voluntary work; To be able to offer more attractive educational possibilities for young people in NEET as self – directed and social learning within local and European voluntary work in order to foster their competences with special focus on sense of initiatives and entrepreneurship, communication in foreign languages and cultural awareness and expression; To be able to promote local and international voluntarism as tool for self – directed and social learning, empowerment, participation in society, self – awareness, initiative and entrepreneurship, employability, etc. To invent EVS projects with special focus on self – directed and social learning of EVsers according to the proposals of Erasmus + programme KA Mobility projects for young people and youth workers.
