Support Opportunities For Training Skills - is an activity which will bring together 27 participants from 9 European countries. The
training will be held in Pistoia, Italy for 8 working days. Participants background is: Youth workers, project managers, activists,
volunteers who are engaged and active in each partner organization. We have agreed with our partners that participants should be
activists, youth workers who have some experience in youth work willing to multiply the knowledge they get with other young
people with fewer opportunities in local community.
CSCS is a vocational training provider, active in the field of research on labour market and pedagogic innovation, as well as in the
promotion of transnational cooperation on technical education and training. Based in our successful experience in the field of labour
market and training in cooperation with our European partners we thought to organize this training course in order to train youth
workers to develop concrete practices to help employability skills for youngsters with disadvantage they work with. Beside
mentioned above the project aims to explore different concepts such as: employability of young people, inclusion, young people
with fewer opportunities, soft skills, deepen the meaning of empowerment of youngsters with fewer opportunities and how it is
searched in various sectors of life (economy, politics, education and health). A considerable space will be dedicated to share best
practices which were implemented in the past from partner organisations and work in fostering partnership for the future with
partner organizations. Building up strategies for dissemination of results of the project and follow up activities in local communities
to put in practice what was learnt during the training will be important part of programme as well.
The main Objectives set up for this course are:
- To contribute to youth worker’s social and professional growth by offering knowledge and practical tools for developing soft skills
and transfer them to target group they are working in each organizations

development of young generation
Methodology that we will use shall lead to equal and active participation of all participants. To increase active participation of young
people during the training will be used different exercises combination of individual and team work, learner-centred ways,
theoretical inputs and exercises. At the same time we will leave space for them to act, to practice what they will learn. We will make
simulation where the participants have to take the lead so they can experience in practice what we will explain them by theory.
The project aim to equip young people with skills and competences such as soft skill improvement, empowerment skills, sense of
initiative, creativity, autonomy and teamwork. These skills and competences will be beneficial for participants for future initiatives,
also helping young people become more aware of self-employment as a career option.
