In recent years youth unemployment has increased in Europe and the rest of the world due to the economic crisis “The economic crisis in the European Union has dramatically changed the youth labor market to a degree that in almost all European countries, several years since the start of the crisis, young people are still facing unprecedented difficulties in finding a job”. The European Commission has encouraged the use of existing mobility programs such as: Erasmus+ or former Youth in Action programme that focus on socio-economic needs and support young people in their personal development through non-formal education. Our project “PBA - youth employment and entrepreneurship” comes as a solution for youth workers on how to understand and provide in their projects an ideal environment for personal and professional development, self-responsibility and to foster youth empowerment through developing new E+ projects. Goal: Developing abilities and competences of 30 youth workers, youth leaders or volunteers of 10 non-profit organizations from 10 partner countries: Croatia, France, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Romania by organizing a 8 days training course between 1-8 October 2016 on building up partnerships for future youth exchanges under Erasmus+ programme focusing on entrepreneurship and employability in Navodari, Romania.Objectives:O1.
