Project Summary

Situation in Europe the economical and migration crisis are influancing young people, who can not recognise what is good either bad, they do not know what what to feel or react on constantly changing situation, this lead them to either become not active either join extermist movements, they need suport from the family, education system, peers who are not always qualify enough to help young person. The youth need support from the trained profefsionals who knows how to help and guide to youth empowerment.
Tackling youth unemployment, social exclusion, intercultural communication and youth participation continues to be a policy priority for European and national governments, but the need to empower young people are increasingly recognized in this process. We see youth
empowerment as an attitudinal, structural, and cultural process whereby young people gain the ability, authority, and agency to make decisions and implement change in their own lives and the lives of other people, including youth and adults. In other words empowered young
people will exercising power over one’s life by being skilled, critically aware, and active in creating community change.
