About project
The YoungLEAD project aims to foster leadership soft skills among children from disadvantaged, migrant, and refugee backgrounds, as well as to foster European values by providing support for the inclusion of children aged 11-16 from disadvantaged and/or migrant backgrounds into mainstream classes.
- support of their self-confidence by building their leadership skills
- understanding of the European context, common values and solidarity to enhance the sense of belonging to the European nature and mindset.
It aims to promote soft skills development that will ensure that the disadvantaged students in school systems are given the confidence they need to grow and integrate into the EU in a productive and comfortable way.
For whom is the YoungLEAD project designed for?
The target group of this project starts with the educators (teachers of children aged 11-16 in primary and secondary school) who will have these resources and materials at their disposal to further educate the disadvantaged students.
The secondary target group are children from disadvantaged backgrounds, especially migrant and refugee backgrounds aged 11-16, who go to school in their host countries.
The last target group is non-school project participants, school staff, non-formal educators of the youth, school advisors, parents and so on, who will also develop or improve their soft skills.
