The members of the CYC NFL PoT are qualified in the application of Non-Formal Education/ Learning (NFL), utilised by Youth Non-Governmental Organisations (YNGOs). The trainers work with topics, such as: social inclusion; active citizenship; diversity; sports; entrepreneurship; volunteering; global education; sexual orientation; leadership; human rights; peace; environment; sustainable development; interculturality; youth capacity building; youth empowerment; youth participation; youth rights; unemployment; youth policy; and any other topic concerning youth.
