Project Summary

The main aim of this project is to train youth workers working in the youth field in learning how to improve their skills, to empower organisations working with youths, and to establish cross-sectoral cooperation between Programme and Partner countries. Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery. It includes both sex trafficking and forced labour. Youth with difficult family situations or histories of trauma, including those with fewer opportunities, can be at greater risk. The victims of human trafficking cannot enjoy any human rights including right to life, right to food, shelter, freedom from torture, freedom of movement, or choice of employment. To prevent the abuse of rights for victims of human trafficking, youth workers can take local level initiative to create awareness against human trafficking and promote ‘safe migration’. Education of youth workers, awareness and cooperation can defeat trafficking and the human rights abuse itbrings to youth. Youth serving organisations are in a unique position to recognise and identify youth who may be on the path to becoming victims and offer assistance to them and reduce the prevalence of human trafficking in their communities. Specific Objectives1. Promote exchange of information and knowledge between partner and programme countriesconcerning the issue of human trafficking; 2. Increase participants’ knowledge on human trafficking from a Human Rights approach; 3. Provide participants with specific knowledge, information and tools that should be used in human trafficking prevention and awareness; 4. Develop and pilot a range of sex trafficking (self)assessment/screening tools and information materials for youth, as well as service providers, law enforcement, and the community at large; 5. Give participants a deep knowledge about human trafficking, through activities which foster better understanding about circumstances, background, reasons of the trafficked people.6. Encourage new partnerships and collaboration between partners; 7. Through the non-formal learning, the development of competences that can be used in future jobs and activities in the youth field;8. Provide opportunities for experiential based learning through job shadowing and9. Sharing of best practices.
