The aim of the project is to improve initiative and entrepreneurship of young people and to support the generation to participate actively in society in a way that they become creators of their future communities, business and employment opportunities. In order that youth work and non-formal learning can have a significant impact in this field, the project improves professional competences of youth workers. We focus on 4 key competences: initiative and entrepreneurship, learning to learn, cultural awareness and expression, social and civic competences. We offer experience and practice in combining techniques and principles from contemporary dance, performance, individual and team coaching applied with youth. We focus on the skills of the youth worker that multiplies in their daily work and the skills improvement of youth, to support young individuals and groups to realize and maintain initiatives, from ideas to action and result. Our target group is youth workers and young volunteers who are active in supporting non-formal learning activities in their organisations, coming from diverse professional, generational, economic, cultural and social backgrounds, working with young people at risk, facing challenging life-situations, poverty and discrimitation. Our objectives are: - to share and fusion methods and best practice from contemporary dance and youth coaching - to improve entrepreneurship, employability and local participation of youth - to improve professional competences of youth workers in designing, guiding and evaluating learning activities The project has 2 interrelated training coursesas main activities (A1dates 21st July- 28th July 2015, number of participants 30 and A2 dates 15th October- 23rd October 2015, number of participants 32), both taking place in Hollókő, Hungary.

They become more equipped to design, present, guide and evaluate learning processes with dance and movement-based methods for skills improvement, apply coaching techniques and skills.They become confident and willing to work in international teams and find motivation to explore and expand their own learning opportunities. Partners can offer more diverse activities, new methods and approaches which allows them to involve and engage young people on the long-term, as well as to reach new target groups. Young peopledevelop aresponsible attitude to act as an example for their peers, understand how by taking their lives into their hands by initiating community actions, volunteering and by finding a job and taking care of themselves. The recognition of non-formal learning and international mobility as a tool of learning increases in the local communities.
