ensures follow-up and sustainability to the cooperation initiated in 2011 within an approved project STEPS TOWARDS CHANGE.

The result of the project will be a stable and sustainable network of 8 organisations from Slovakia, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Vietnam, China, Uganda and Costa Rica which are willing to host
The sending kit (a typed document created within the currently running project Steps toward change, providing information about all 11 original hosting places) will be developed into a VIDEO KIT about the hosting places in this project and will be disseminated among a network of local organisations working with youth in each country of the original 18 partners.
