Because of its significance, it was decided that the training course will be under the title of the YEU annual event “YEU Developing YOU-2014”. The training course was organised by Youth for Exchange and Understanding International. It was financially supported by the European Youth Foundation and the Council of Europe and it was hosted by the Municipality of Perugia, Perugiassisi 2019 Foundation and, ADISU - Regional Agency for Students rights.
