Moreover, IDEA aims to fight the youth unemployment and to promote the improvement of soft skills and to meet the growing demand for transversal skills such as critical and innovative thinking, entrepreneurial mind-set and creativity by current employers.

Additionally, it is advocating for social inclusion and preventing the unemployment by fostering personal and vocational development of less favourable social groups as NEETs, persons with disabilities, people with poor social skills or rural unemployed youth and through local initiatives would like to increase the general public awareness of the needs of all vulnerable groups and especially with disadvantaged backgrounds and economic obstacles.

We organise our events both in the office and online, because of the pandemic situation but also we believe it is a convenient way for people that have no opportunities for attending face to face meetings.

Our team has got a vast experience gained at national level while implementing our local activities such as: organizing focus group meetings, workshops and other smaller events with the active involvement of local participants, experts and regional institutions representatives.
