Project "Train your skills" is a youth exchange, organised under Erasmus + Programme. It is dedicated to young people in age of 15 - 17 from three European countries: Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia. The main aim of the project is to promote sport as a tool for developing physical activity as well as rising level of entrepreneurship of young people. We will prove that sport influences on developing soft skills of young people, and thus increase their attractiveness on the labor market. Participants will discover their strengths, and also the ways in which they should present the strenghts during the process of searching job. All these activities will make participants more open, flexible and atractive on labor market. Young people will take part in various workshops and meeting with expert and thanks to this they will broaden their theoretical and practical knowledge about labor market and soft skills. All workshops and meeting will be done with nonformal education methods with active participation of young people. The outcome of the project will be increase of enterprise, self-confidence, communication skills on one hand, and the development of physical activity on the other. Moreover, we will create an international portal (blog) dealing with issues of the youth labour market and the problems associated with finding a job. The organizer of the project is the "Fundacja Pomocy Człowiek Człowiekowi”.
