The project UNEXPRESSED TALENT aims at decreasing social and educational exclusion of young people in school age (14-24 y.o.) as well as young NEET (15-25 y.o.) by means of their active participation in civil society and increased personal accountability. Empiric observations and case studies point out that one of the major indicators of uneasiness (resulting even in higher rates of school dropout) is linked to a low level of social inclusion and a scarce participation in democratic life as well as a general lack of the so called soft-skills allowing young people to make the most proper decisions about their personal and professional life.

The rationale of the project draws both on Europa2020 strategy goals (specifically reduction of dropouts below 10%) and Erasmus Plus programme whose overall objective is boosting skills and competences of young people in order to improve their employability.

We profoundly believe the objective of reducing social uneasiness of young people in difficulties could be reached through their inclusion in civil society with positive effects on their transversal skills and leading them to become aware of their unexpressed talents, all resulting in a better level of integration.
