Erasmus+ Youth in Action is structured in a way that will be explained later on in this MOOC; but before the how, we need to make sure that we understand fully the why of this programme. Because as in all good project management you need to know why you do something before you look at how you will do it.

Below the video you will find described the special emphasis in the project selection in 2016.

In 2016, in the selection of projects emphasis will be put on:

reaching out to marginalised young people, promoting diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, common values of freedom, tolerance and respect of human rights as well as on projects enhancing media literacy, critical thinking and sense of initiative of young people as well as

equipping youth workers with competences and methods needed for transferring the common fundamental values of our society particularly to the hard to reach young people and preventing violent radicalisation of young people as well.

In this regard, taking into account the critical context in Europe - and considering the fact that youth work, non-formal learning activities and volunteering can significantly contribute to address the needs of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants and/or increase awareness about this issue within local communities – particular attention will also be given to support youth mobility projects involving or focusing on the refugees/asylum seekers and migrants.
