The project in brief.
Why PATHS.
Young people from rural parts of the Danube Region often have no access to high-quality career guidance and therefore leave for cities or abroad. In 9 countries PATHS is setting up local LPSS centres (Life Path Support Services), where young people receive personal support for life and career decisions.
The partners train mentors, organise youth camps "I own my path!" and pilot a joint transnational model that other regions will be able to adopt after the project ends.
Goals and results
- local LPSS centres – personal support for life and career
- youth camps "I own my path!"
- mentor training
- piloting the transnational LPSS model
- less emigration of young people from rural areas
