PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The objectives of this project in the short and long term are to continue to work with young people in our community as well as with young people from Europe, enabling them to continue to acquire new technical and psychosocial skills through intercultural sharing, gaining greater integration capacity, participation in European democratic life and an active citizenship of social inclusion and solidarity.
With the implementation of the project it is intended that it has an impact at various levels, namely in the youth, host institution and community. For young people, it will be very important to acquire new technical and psychosocial skills, which will allow them to improve their curriculum, integrate labor market, learn a new language, as well as cultural enrichment, among others. For CBES Padre Tobias this project will provide a continuity of work, based on the support to young people (Portuguese and other nationality), who present greater geographical, educational, social and economic difficulties.
