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.
