Participants were gender balanced, their age was from 25 to 55 years (mostly over 30 years old), and they had different cultural, religious, political,… backround and belief. The main criteria for selection were experience in youth work, motivation to participate, to share experience, to use the results of the study visit, to have interest in the chosen topics (rural area) and working with selected target groups (young people with less opportunities). There were two persons with less opp. involved into the project, that were youth leaders, volunteers who have been unemployed for a long time. After the project ended one of them found a job.

The used methods were participatory kind, as participants do experienced the activities that we organize for youth. The chosen methods were active, interesting, informal and experience kind. They supported personal and professional growth of the youth workers that participated in the project. Activities were organized in a smaller, mixed groups. At the end of the project some of the participants received a Youthpass, those who wanted to, that they filled in invididually.
The results were shown outside the participating organizations and were visible to wide target group. Visibilty and dissemination were an important phase of each partner organization during preparatory phase (using Erasmus + supporting statement, logos). While being in Krško, all participants daily gave their opinion to local media and put their toughts and photos on their social networks. The short movie from the project was shown on our local TV and also we were aired in the regional radio. Some of the partners were hosted in the media after returning home.
