The project addresses the right to employment and non-discrimination. Young people have little competences in understanding the discrimination affecting them in their access to jobs and they also need to develop more competences through non-formal education. The project includes several educational activities for young people aged 18 to 25 in a disadvantaged area in Montpellier, on the following topics: self esteem, communication, discrimination and ways to combat it, guidance towards the labour market, etc. The project will have a local dimension and also an international dimension, using youth exchanges as a tool for improving the skills of young people for the employment market and also for their citizenship. At local level, the project will develop a network among young people, youth workers and institutions, particularly the job centres and vocational guidance services in the city.

One of the activities included in the project was a youth exchange between Estelle's organisation and Fiona's organisation.

A video was produced during the project on the topic of combating hate speech online.

  • celebrations of Europe's day and an exhibition prepared by the young people themselves
  • events on non-formal education and trainings for new youth workers
