“ACHIEVE” - innovative methods for training and development of youth workers is designed to support the development of quality youth work in the participating countries. As known Bulgaria, Romania and Cyprus are among the EU countries where the youth sector is in the initial stage of development. Youth policies are under development and no national strategies for Youth work exists.

Experience in international youth work is crucial to create a stable basis in the participating countries related to the training of youth workers to adequately address the needs of young people.The aim of this project is to stimulate high quality youth work among specific stakeholders and actors in the youth field in order to better enhance the competences of the youth.The objectives of the project are:1.
