One of our latest, and greatest projects, that we are involved in is Crossing The Line: Eurospectives. Based on the original CTL theme from 2006. Crossing the Line: Eurospectives is a two year project funded by the Leonardo Transfer of Innovation Strand of the EU Lifelong Learning Programme.

The main aim of Crossing the Line: Eurospectives is to develop and adapt an innovative DVD “Crossing the Line” – developed by URBEATZ in the UK for use in other target countries. The DVD will use input from young people in each of the partner countries and will be tested in close co-operation with the target group.

The new product called ‘Crossing the Line: Eurospectives’ (CtL) will comprise of a DVD and accompanying workbooks. Crossing the Line: Eurospectives will highlight the issues affecting young people in each of the participating countries providing a European perspective on youth culture, disengagement and engagement and will be targeted at VET trainers working with young people.
