PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In previous years, two partner organizations (Brandenburgische Sportjugend im Landessportbund Brandenburg e.V. from Germany and Everything is Possible from United Kingdom) of the current project worked together in order to develop a variety of good practice in Vocational Education and Training (VET) for trainees with a background of social obstacles and in order to offer them different vocational and pre-vocational opportunities. Through this past cooperation they already investigated the support needs of such a target group in accessing VET abroad and, through joint working, discovered the obstacles preventing them accessing VET. As a result Leonardo pathway passport (booklet) was produced which would support the target group in their access to international VET and travel throughout their VET experience. This new partnership through project Effective Inclusion, starting in September 2011 and finishing in August 2013, has involved a new partner organization Gantalcala from Spain. Partners agreed to develop Guidelines for Sending and Hosting Organizations of trainees with fewer opportunities. The focus was to define common standards for the organizations in order to provide quality support for trainees and tackle specific challenges and problems. Also, recommendations and suggestions were gathered through sharing of good practice examples between the partner organizations. It was decided to investigate and improve VET-opportunities available to this target group in each of the partner areas and endeavor to develop a better service for these learners with fewer opportunities. The partnership was used to define for hosting and sending organizations the support that is necessary to give to the target group in order to make the VET opportunities more successful for each of the involved. Even if all the partners are experienced in working with the target group there is nevertheless a different approach of working in the international context. The purpose of this Vocational Education and Training (VET) opportunities Catalogue is to collect the descriptions of potential VET opportunities and learning possibilities for trainees in partner countries. Organizations chose their own design, font and formatting for the description of the traineeship. The amount and content of the information could vary dependent on the traineeship. Nevertheless, some basic information was included in all of the descriptions of the traineeship. For this reason, the special form had to be followed when preparing descriptions of the traineeships.

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Since 1999, Everything is Possible has developed partnerships with organizations who support young people with fewer opportunities. Our organization was set up to support the most excluded young people, such as homeless young people, those with drug & alcohol problems, those in prison, young people with no education or excluded from school, individuals with a history of mental health, black & minority ethnic groups, those who have been through the system of local authority care and young parents. We specialize in offering international mobility experiences to young people with less opportunities, however our programmers are open to all young people, not exclusively this target group. We run formal and informal courses on European citizenship & intercultural awareness for young people, in various settings including prisons, youth centres, schools & non-formal education centers. Our current aims and the work we have done over the last few years have allowed us to work with more & more marginalized young people.
