The aim of the course is to develop the competences of youth workers/youth leaders to contribute to combating the social exclusion of young people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

Each participant in the course is expected to develop and implement a project with young people at risk. The project must be developed within their sending organisation and in as far as possible implemented in cooperation with local and regional authorities.

The course consists of four phases, including face-to-face and distance learning elements (mostly through e-learning), in which each phase and learning feature is equally important. The course will be held in English and French.

The initial training seminar of the course will be held on 20 - 30 September 2009, at the European Youth Centre Strasbourg, France.
