Content-wise, the seminars are principally concerned with developing European frameworks for participative peer group education for parents, youths and in the youth scenes.

The trainers have a particularly important role to play here because the youths principally develop their attitudes and behaviour patterns via observation. It is not the teachings of adults that first and foremost have an effect on the development of the young people but attitudes and behaviour patterns – such as those shown by staff involved in youth work. That is why it is also important that trainers give young people answers to the following questions:
