YouthLab is a project that promotes the exchange of practices in the area of youth activation in Europe; practices in non-formal education related to emancipation, citizenship development, employability, etc.
Over 18 months methodologies and experiences will be gathered, analysed and the most important methodological elements will be extracted. In addition, the partners in Spain, France, Portugal and Slovakia will organise forums involving agents involved with youth, employment and training issues, who together will generate proposals and analysis on the issue of youth activation and emancipation.
All this information will be summarised and used to disseminate proposals and alternatives.
