Description
The youth unemployment rate is really high in Hungary. Generally fewer youth try to apply for jobs and they have less success. The high rate and the reproduction of unemployment deepen the inequality, the structural discrimination and social dissatisfaction. The problem is known, many civic organizations try to deal with it, but they lack the network and cooperation that would make their work more efficient. The objective of the project is to realize an adoptable complex program that is based on non-formal learning methods and to create a network of experts in order to decrease the number of unemployed youth and to ease the transition from schools to the labour market. It aims to develop different competencies of disadvantaged youth and inform them about opportunities. During the project there will be workshops and trainings where the developed model program and methods will be delivered. Beside the several media appearance an informative video will be published. The target group consists of disadvantaged youth studying in vocational schools, the representatives of civic sector, social and educational professionals.
