The activity programme will be designed to support participants in recognizing the way they perceive risk and to apply the learning into their work with young people in their organisations. The participants will come from various levels of understanding of what risk is so the programme will be designed to ensure that from an early stage they would have a common understanding of it. The programme will focus on the various elements that shape people’s reaction to risk i.e. legal dimension, customs, attitudes, life experience, reactions to new environments, the use of power and how abuse is defined in different cultures. The aim of the training course is to increase the quality of international projects in the Youth in Action Programme through the development of participants’ competence in risk assessment and risk management.
