Context:
The hosting organization works in a small town (approximately 6500 inhabitants). The region has basic services (health centre, police station, court, education: primary, secondary, VET schools). Young people, with the exception of those who choose to follow the 3 vocational training options available, have to leave the valley to continue their studies, reason whereby the organization focusses its work on adolescents and those who leave school prematurely.
