**Youth worker is understood as someone who works with young people in a wide variety of non-formal and informal learning contexts, typically focusing on young people's personal and social development through one-on-one relationships and group-based activities.
*Managing Resources means understanding the values and working culture of youth projects and youth organisations. It’s about understanding what motivates young people to participate in projects, how to nurture this motivation, and how to manage risks accordingly. This competence also includes knowledge of national legislation, data policies, and financial resource management, with special attention to the amount of resources needed to design, prepare, and deliver international youth work projects.
