January 2016 was the Italian CNIPA PUGLIA, whose efforts made for a very high quality and
enjoyable experience for all participants.
The aim of the meeting was to hear the comments of the young people and to agree on
two of the project outputs. The outputs include information and educational brochures intended
for young people seeking employment and for organizations that work with this target group.
The partners discussed the existing materials of the future brochures with young people coming
from the target areas with the highest unemployment, who shared their experience and
proposals for the improvement of both outputs. The result of the meeting was a workshop in
which the partners and representatives of the target groups were divided into several working
groups, within which they prepared the final materials. CNIPA PUGLIA prepared an interesting
accompanying cultural programme that allowed not only the representatives of the target group,
but also the other participants of the meeting to get acquainted with Italian cuisine and the
interesting history of the city of Lecce and the Puglia region.
Currently, the partners are intensively working
on the final outputs and the preparations for the last
meeting - a conference, which is tentatively scheduled
for December 2016 and which will take place in
Prague.
