ATOQ is a training course to increase quality within youth exchanges. During 5 days, an international group of youth workers will look back to their past experience(s), focus on quality aspects and improve their management competences in order to improve quality for their future youth exchanges.

The training will provide the participants with opportunities to:

2. Increase the understanding of different quality aspects of youth exchanges such as: active participation of young people , involvement of promoters and stakeholders, diversity and intercultural learning, European dimension and citizenship;

I am a Sierra Leonean national that resides in Sierra Leone. I am currently the National Secretary General of Youth Alliance for Justice and Peace. A youth organisation that sincerely came togather to protect the welfare of youth and other vulnerable people in Sierra Leone.
We found your youth programmes highly interesting but we are highly dissapointed that these programmes are not meant for organisations that are in the developing world that are honestly trying to bring correct change via basic human rights by providing equal opportunities to all.
Excluding organisations like ours that are from the developing world from your highly influencial trainings would do more harm to us in the battle to realise our targeted goal, which is to sincerely eradicate poverty in the developing world. Without quality trainings and education the realisation of our goal will never come true.
With regards to the above, we ask for your future programms to include people from the developing world and not just europe.
