The three participants were: Bhajamana Mahanta (Jivas Vikas, India), Chiara Boni (Inter Alia,Greece), Sergio Germanà (PRISM, Italy), chaperoned by members of the Togolese partner organisation ACET Togo.The study visit was structured to comprise: a) an extended field research, conducted through interviews (on a standardized semi-structured questionnaire, utilised in all the previous study visits); b) a job shadowing part; and c) the organisation of a local event to inform about the overall aim and objectives of the Mission Responsible project thus promoting the whole idea of youth work towards the adoption of common standards. Most of the activities took place in Lomè, the capital of the country,while several day trips were made to nearby villages (Mékoviadé, Attinoufoe, Atti touwui, Badja), where some of ACET Togo’s projects are based and where participants had the chance to meet and interview local youth workers and policy makers.

A Perspective from Sicily, Study visit in Sicily, Italy | 9 –30 October,2017
The importance of this region in terms of youth work can be highlighted by the fact that almost 30% of all proposals towards the Italian National Agency stem from Sicily.Additionally the significance of Sicily regarding the scopes of the project in comparison to other regions of Italy can also be pinned down to the fact that it has a comparatively higher percentage of active associations.
