The COURAGE project is a 3 years strategic partnerships for
a youth programme of research and development undertaken
by partnership of five institutions integrating educational,
youth, sports and other leisure activities in Denmark, Portu-
gal, Ireland, Lithuania and Norway. It addresses exclusion of
young people from social, educational, cultural and economic
opportunities associated with a full citizenship – a serious
issue across Europe.

2. COURAGE objectives
Our ultimate goal is to improve life
chances across the whole Euro-
pean area of the project’s ultimate
beneficiaries – young people “at
risk” from:
social disengagement; educational
exclusion and under-attainment;
becoming long-term NEETs (Not in
Education, Training or Employ-
ment); experiencing lasting disad-
vantage in labour markets; being
unable to exercise their full rights
as EU citizens. The immediate tar-
get groups for our findings and products are youth and community workers, school
leaders and teachers, trainers, and coaches, working with young people in varying de-
grees of co-operation with related agencies and with varying and often inadequate re-
sources for training and support. Our ultimate beneficiaries are the many hundreds and
thousands of young people whose life-chances will benefit during and after the life-time of
the project from our target groups’ enhanced knowledge and competence.
