PROJECT CONTENT

The project was a transformative Erasmus+ project that brought together youth workers, leaders, and organizations across four countries. It aimed to foster active participation, inclusion, and innovation in youth work. By equipping participants with cutting-edge facilitation methods and non-formal education techniques, the project addressed critical social challenges while promoting intercultural dialogue and collaboration at the European level.

Our primary aims

Our primary aims are to: improve the quality of services through capacity building support, including via training and business surgeries; to provide a true picture of the diverse Somali community, its needs, aspirations and achievements, through publication of research; to influence policy to ensure the voice and interests of Somalis are represented, through campaign and policy work. We also provide leadership training to help address the deficit and to ensure Somalis take up places around decision-making tables, influence policy and laws.
