We have tried to bring together our varied experiences and ideas to produce a T-kit which will help you to come to your own conclusions about intercultural learning theory and practice within the context of youth work and training.

The Resource Pack is meant to be something of a recipe book with examples of youth work tools that are both filled with content and flexible to adapt to particular needs of its users.

To help participants feel comfortable with the sessions, with the trainer, and with each other. To focus participants' attention. To stimulate participants’ level of energy and enthusiasm.

This brochure gives some examples of how non-formal learning and the Youth in Action programme contribute to building up young people's knowledge and skills, and give them a glimpse of what it requires to seek and hold down a job or to become an entrepreneur.

Mosaic is intended to provide theoretical and practical tools for youth workers and trainers to work with and use when training people. More specifically, Mosaic aims to be an intellectually stimulating tool that supplies youth workers, trainers and project leaders interested in Euro-Mediterranean youth co-operation with starting points, essential information and methodological proposals enabling them to understand, address and question common issues present in the reality of Euro-Mediterranean youth projects.

To explore reasons for being unwilling to resolve conflict.

Understanding You(th) combines an overview of theories on the notion of identity with testimonials from practitioners, and practical methods that can be used when working with young people.
