Project Communication for Cooperation (C4C) gathered international team of youth workers in Youth Hostel Ajdovščina in the town of Ajdovščina, Slovenia for a training course that took place on 23-30 April 2019. There were 18 participants from nine countries working together to improve their knowledge of using ICT in youthwork. The first edition arose from the shared reflection on Youth workers skills and on the highlighted lack of effective communication skills in youth workers and organisations. The second one aimed to improve and refine the communication skills (and their connections with relationships and values) of Youth workers and organisations providing them competences, tools and methods to address their work to marginalised youth. It enhances the professionalism and quality of Youth work and NFE and raise inclusion opportunities for marginalised youth - especially those at risk of exclusion and with violent and risky behaviours- as indirect beneficiaries.
