The Contact Making Seminar (CMS) aims to address the challenge of NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) youth, who are at risk of social exclusion and economic hardship due to their lack of engagement in the labor market or educational opportunities. With NEETs often facing marginalization and unemployment, there is a critical need for effective interventions to integrate them into society and improve their prospects. Eurostat data shows that in 2018, 16.5% of Europeans aged 20-34 were NEETs, with varying rates across countries. This seminar, gathered 33 youth workers from 15 countries to foster both national and regional cooperation.
The objectives include sharing best practices, developing practical materials to assist NEET youth, and enhancing networking opportunities. The seminar will also focus on improving competences in youth work and promoting social integration. By leveraging non-formal education methods, participants will gain valuable skills and strategies to better support NEET youth and foster EU social cohesion. The outcomes will include a practical brochure and a Youthpass certificate, with future workshops planned to disseminate knowledge locally and nationally.

The project addressed the critical issue of low youth participation in community and local initiatives, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Research from the Council of Europe highlighted challenges young people face in engaging politically, often due to perceived inexperience and barriers. Our project aimed to enhance youth workers’ skills in intercultural learning, non-formal education, and leadership to better support and develop young leaders.
We focused on building both soft skillsโlike communication, emotional intelligence, and teamworkโand hard skills in project management and mentoring. The training sought to promote non-formal education tools and Erasmus+ opportunities, encouraging effective youth participation and leadership.
By improving youth workersโ competencies and fostering active citizenship, the project aimed to empower young people, enhance local initiatives, and contribute to the broader European goals of democratic engagement and social cohesion. The ultimate goal was to equip youth workers to guide young leaders, develop impactful community projects, and support youth integration into social and political processes.

The projectย was a mobility initiative aimed at empowering young workers and volunteers to advocate for refugee integration and social inclusion. Aligned with the Erasmus+ 2021-2027 Strategy, it focused on improving inclusion and diversity by equipping participants with tools to empathize with refugees, understand migration phenomena, and support their community integration.

It promoted cooperation among youth organizations and other stakeholders, emphasizing the view of immigration as enrichment rather than a problem. Objectives included fostering positive refugee integration, understanding human rights, combating discrimination, and developing innovative integration proposals.
Participants, aged 18-30, were selected based on motivation and experience. The project aimed to raise awareness about refugees, combat stereotypes, and encourage future collaboration. Expected impacts included increased knowledge and skills on refugee integration, strengthened partnerships, and local community engagement in combating social exclusion. Activities involved sharing results, exchanging ideas, and organizing local events.
