About the Minimal and Functional project

The Erasmus+ Small Scale Partnership Minimal & Functional (Project number: 2024-1-AT01-KA210-YOU-000245743), coordinated by Verein MUSE with partners CEGE - Change, Explore and Grow by Exchange (Bulgaria) and European Center of Breclav (Czechia) has been successfully concluded in August 2025. The result of the one-year-project is a free, practical youth work concept, offering tools for youth workers to make learning engaging, low-cost, and hands-on. The concept targets young people aged 16–29, including NEET youth, and focuses on minimal preparation and functional outcomes. The website www.minimalandfunctional.eu presenting the concept contains structured tool cards divided into four parts: Circus & Performing, Politics & Politician, Media Literacy, and Daily Choices for Functional Life. Each part includes short, adaptable activities that build communication, creativity, critical thinking, and financial awareness. The concept serves as an open, sustainable resource promoting inclusive, accessible, and innovative youth work and is also available as a downloadable PDF document and on Youtube.
