Development idea
The economic crisis, rising unemployment, reduction in household income and offered services increase the need to prevent negative behaviour among young people and to integrate young people with special needs into society.
Aim of the project
The CEBARE4YOU project prevented youth-related problems and improved the quality of local life by developing new models and methods for organising youth activities in local communities.
Main project activities
CEBARE4YOU focused on the needs and problems of young people by clarifying how they spent their free time. The project involved socially rejected children and young people in school activities and free-time gatherings and ran events to prevent youth alcohol/drug addiction and crime. Furthermore, the partners organised training for youth work leaders and partnership activities for representatives of youth associations. Activities were also dedicated to planning new kinds of youth centres and activities in the participating municipalities.

Results
A technical plan and concept for a new youth centre
The project introduced a plan for a new youth centre in Harku, Estonia.
The technical plan and concept were a result of cross-border co-operation and experiences from Sweden and Finland were taken into account.
Free-time activities for young people
The project organised a number of free-time activities for socially rejected young people.
The youth activities included both local actions like camps as well as site visits to other partner locations. The activities had a focus on preventive youth work and the topics handled e.g. sexual health, self-esteem as well as alcohol and drugs. Drama and creativy were used to encourage and empower the youngsters.
