The Erasmus+: Mobility for youth workers “Creating your own working future” was based on the current societal need to empower young people to be pro-active in searching for a job and to be flexible and creative. The base of being pro-active and creative is inner leadership: a strong personality which can carry the responsibility to rely on yourself and to make conscious decisions based on one´s own feelings and thoughts. We strongly believe that empowering young people through the process of inner leadership leads to increased employability. 
This training course took place in Lednice, Czech Republic in the week of 20th to 27th October 2016.

There is much discrimination in Europe and most of it is based on ignorance and fear of the unknown. Stereotypes are created and this project allowed young people from different countries to learn about each other in order to overcome these common problems. The main objective of the project was to overcome different forms of discrimination through methods of giving the opportunity to young people to learn from each other and to develop friendships.

September 15 marks the birthday of Hrant Dink. He was saying that Armenians must help to cure Turks and Turks must help to cure Armenians. There is no other prescription, no other doctor, no other effective treatment. This was a very symbolic project for ABCD Innovation Center as we truly believe in this approach. Within this project we started our new long-term with Çanakkale Koza Gençlik Derneği and it was extremely successful for both parties and we aim to build dialogue and cooperation between the two societies.
