This training was organised withing the framework of the programme youth of the European Commission.

The YOUTH programme is the EU’s mobility and non-formal education programme targeting young people aged between 15 and 25 years.

The Programme is open to youth in 31 European countries. The YOUTH programme offers possibilities to young people in the form of both group exchanges and individual voluntary work, as well as support activities. The YOUTH programme started in spring 2000 but incorporates, and is based on, the experiences faced by the former Youth for Europe and European Voluntary Service programmes.

Participants are strongly encouraged to inform themselve before the training about the youth programme via http://europa.eu.int/comm/youth/program/index_en.html
