Project also provided participants with opportunity to think, discuss and test methods for youth work activities in their communities. Cooperation with institutions and other organisations was also established during the project. Main aim of the project was to build capacities of involved organisations and communities to promote values of the peace along with other European values within their target groups. Reason and main motivation for organisations to implement this project was rise of discrimination, hate speech, violence against minorities and nationalisms in Europe which they were not able to address without educating its youth workers and providing them with mentioned opportunities. In same time half of organisations are working in counties with EU membership perspective in which Euro-scepticism and lover support to EU integration during slow and not very visible reforms and progress on this path in more than 20 years. Therefore project had and mainly achieved following objectives:-To exchange practices, experiences and solutions for youth work provided by involved organisations;-To understand values of young people in communities and learn how to assess, measure and analyse it using pulls and other tools;-To provide training opportunity to youth workers and young leaders from organisations and communities regarding European and peace values;-To create new youth worker methods based on new resources and needs of organisations, youth workers and communities;-To prepare and promote publication regarding project and its results;-To create network and long term partnership among organisations regarding cooperation on promotion of European values and values of peace in communities and internationally;-To leverage capacities of consortium members to cooperate internationally and to strengthen their position in local communities by taking part in a multi-stage international project;-Finally, to build capacities of hosting organisation to organise large scale international projects (as this was first one hosted by CET Prizren) Project idea was created on network meeting, but organisations which are not part of the network were also involved in development and implementation of the project in order to ensure wider reach and spread of project results, as well as quality. The idea of the project was born during the meeting of CET Platform network, during which all organizations created a set of fields of common interest and their training needs. Based on it we came up with an idea of a project based on European values and peace building as a base of European societies.
