Among them we can mention: the bullying and school violence, alcohol and drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, discrimination and exclusion of groups.The prevention of risk behaviors is an important need in our work with young people, and it is relevant to approach it and know how to help young people and prevent them.Objectives:- Improve and renew the tools for trainers, educators, monitors in youth prevention - Provide information on bullying to workers, families, young people and society in general- Sensitize and educate young people, teachers, coaches, trainers about the need of prevention.- Exchange realities regarding the topics of the project in the participating countries.- Share experiences and best practices with other trainers, educators, monitors.- Become familiar with different tools and methods of non-formal education for prevention and work with youth.- Encourage the establishment of anti-bullying and anti-violence policies.- Improve personal development and skills of the participants.- Cooperate in the new Erasmus + programProfile of the participants:People working in the field of youth, trainers, teachers, monitors, youth workers whose daily work is to help the young people, to improve their skills and motivate them every day.26 participants from 13 different countries (Spain, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Latvia, Macedonia, Finland, Austria, Sweeden, France, Slovakia,Estonia and Greece) will take part in the project.Results:- Web-blog of the project to put all materials, project results.- Facebook group to share all the materials and exchange of experiences with the participants- Flick where we will upload all project photos.- Youtube channel where we will upload all videos created during the project.- Public media.
