Our direct target group were youth workers who deal with young people with special needs e. g. early school leavers, having low self – esteem, unemployed young people, etc. Therefore, youth workers have to provide such type of youth work activities for them which are creative and participatory, they can gain successful moments during participation, they can enjoy the participation and becoming more and more active meanwhile develop their self – confidence, to learn more about their own culture and about themselves, to recognise their learning outcomes, to learn to handle the obstacles during their learning processes, to explore their own strengths, passions, and through these to become enough independent to start even small start ups regarding to their passions or being enough brave to apply for a job and being able to summaries their strengths and weaknesses and present their competences what they have gained and improved within non – formal education. Even having one or more Youthpass certificate what they can use instead of diploma or one day besides a diploma. The overall aim of the Partnership building seminar was to train youth workers, youth leaders to be able to prepare, run and evaluate such type of non – formal educational methods which support young people to explore their talents meanwhile discover their own cultures. Practicing education through arts and sports in order to find strengths and creativity in traditions, which were forgotten and revise them, make it modern and popular among local community and European level. To support young people to recognise their roots and find their talents there and using their talents, to foster their sense of initiative and entrepreneurship. To make traditions through talents of young people well – known in Europe e.g. running youth projects according to the proposals of KA1 and KA2 according to the proposals of Erasmus + programme.
