Quality youth projects (from idea to implementation) bring sustainability of youth work, raise capacities and motivation of youth workers, contribute to the recognition of youth work, bring better impact to young people and society, keep young people motivated and engaged, raises quality of learning and involvement through youth work, raises civic and democratic engagement and brings reputation to youth organisation and youth field in general. That is why we focus on importance of building capacities of youth workers to develop, prepare, apply and implement youth projects on high quality level. Responding to the relevant and realistic needs and challenges further brings the next level of problems that youth organisation found themselves in – solutions and ideas became vague, not innovative and limited. Building up on that, we have realised that for the innovative solutions, quality projects, sustainability of the youth programmes and stronger impact of our work, one of the main thing lacking in the youth sector is the strategic networking, establishing quality and meaningful national and especially international cooperation in the youth field among the youth organisations, but also with the youth authorities, decision and policy makers, institutions working with and for young people and even business sector. This synergy is crucial for success of the youth work and highly contributes to its recognition and validation.

This project is based on need for competent youth workers to support young people in their socio-economic development as responsible citizens with fundamental European values as well as to facilitate civic engagement of youth in reconciliation at various levels. They should be equipped with competences to practice bottom-up and human-centred approach to reconciliation since it is all about people2people actions that contribute to societal reconstruction and finally to society/community transformation. This way, we are contributing also to European education and training policy since we deal with quality of youth work and non-formal education. Improving capacities of youth workers in reconciliation topic also contribute to topic-based diversification inside the youth work field. Youth workers are the key element of this process and they are the first to be addressed.
