The project intend to gather youth workers and volunteers, young people who want to work or be engaged in the work of youth organizations, young people with fewer opportunities who want to build their digital competencies and employable skills of other young people.
We will ensure the diversity among the participants considering the previously acquired knowledge on the topic and experience. In that way the participants who have some advanced knowledge on the topic could help to the other participants easily understand the materials and lectures during the group work and sessions. We provide an opportunity for sharing knowledge and good practices among the participants, cohesion and team work spirit.
The working methodology is based on non-formal education methods. Using these methods we aim to build an environment that is diverse and stimulated for working, learning and sharing. In our practical approach we will use tools for team-building, team-working, case-studies, multimedia, web resources and digital tools, brainstorming, workshops on digital skills and team management, personal and group assessments and evaluation. We will try to stimulate the participants to be pro-activate and responsible for them and for the other participants, to share the knowledge among them and help each other to achieve the tasks.

Podsjećamo vas na Youthpass nagradni natječaj u tijeku!
On Friday, August 23, we held our last intercultural evening as part of the Vukovar Summer Vibes project.
The event was hosted by our volunteers - Eirini from Greece, Victoria from Moldova and Sopio and Theona from Georgia. We learned many new things about the rich culture and traditions of these three countries, learned the dance steps of Greek traditional dance in a pleasant atmosphere, and tasted the traditional salty and sweet specialties of the three cuisines. Thanks to everyone who made this evening great
