Outside the box

By implementing the „Outside the box“ project we want to achieve an exchange of experience and proven methods of work with young people, we will learn from each other nontraditional or rarely used methods of work, we will learn about the situation in both nonformal and formal education in our countries, with problems with motivation of young people to learn and we will discuss possibilities of using methods of nonformal education in formal education. Our organizations as well as the partner organizations cooperate also with institutions of formal education and organize activities for this youth.
