Although the Strategy Europe 2020 aims to decrease the rate of early educational leaving in the EU to below 10% by 2020, still more than 10% of youngsters (aged 16-24), are leaving the education and training process, according to EUROSTAT data. Early educational dropout is an urgent and serious problem, both for individuals and society as a whole.

In order to address the above mentioned problems, throuout this project we will especially emphasize on mentoring process with youngsters, i.e. creation of tools and instruments for improvement of quality of mentoring processes. Besides creation of tools and instrumenst, we will develop an android based mobile mentoring application to facilitate distance mentoring for youth with disabilities.

Project is coordinated by SIM - SCUOLA ITALIANA DI MENTORING (Italy), in cooperation with ASSOCIAZIONE MOSAICO (Italy), MARIE CURIE ASSOCIATION – MCA (Bulgaria), PHOENIXKM BVBA (Belgium), International Association for Research and Development of Vocational Education and Training (Turkey) and Belgrade open school.

All of the project activities will be realized from the 1^st of December 2017 to 30^th of November 2019. Project is supported by European Commission, through Erasmus+ Programme in the field of Strategic partnerships for youth.
