Project in brief Young people are driving forces for the social, cultural and economic development of the Euro- Mediterranean area. Nevertheless, the current situation in terms of unemployment coupled with skills mismatch, lack of work experience and barriers to mobility are often described as the main obstacles hampering the integration of young people into the labour market. Not only can work experience help young people to develop professional skills, but also boost their soft skills (i.e. team work, communication and social competences, adaptability, critical thinking) thus contributing to mutual understanding and intercultural dialogue between people. CaBuReRa aims to reduce youth unemployment in the Mediterranean area through the promotion of mobility and vocational education of young people, building their capacities in the sector of project management. The project will provide 90 young people with the opportunity to live a 4-month period in a foreign country during which they will acquire both professional skills and intercultural competences. CaBuReRa has the ambition to become a pilot project for the development of new strategies addressing the issue of youth transition from education to work in the Mediterranean area.
