The Council of Europe has launched a call for participants for its long term training course on access to social rights for young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods, to be held from July 2009 to March 2011. The aim of the course is to develop the competences of youth workers/youth leaders to contribute to combating the social exclusion of young people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Each participant in the course is expected to develop and implement a project with young people at risk. The project must be developed within their sending organisation and in as far as possible implemented in cooperation with local and regional authorities.

The deadline for applications is 15 June 2009. For more information see the website of the Council of Europe.
