The Youth Competence Centres of Antwerp provide integrated activities for young people regarding leisure, competency development, and work. The centers aim to empower young people through personal development and increased social participation. Activities are centered around the lifestyles and needs of 16 to 25-year-olds in vulnerable situations. The centers take a positive approach focusing on young peoples' strengths and talents, involving them in voluntary competency identification and development through experiential learning and self-directed activities. Over 50 young people participated in competency-focused projects last year, with most participating in multiple activities centered around areas like cultural activities, local youth work, and training.
