strategic plan. It was directly linked to its first priority: Support the implementation of the Recommendation CM/Rec(2015)3 of the Committee of Ministers to member States on the access of young people from disadvantaged neihgbourhoods to social rights. The aim of the work plan was to improve access to social rights of young people by advocating for placing the implementation of Recommendation CM/Rec(2015)3 on the agenda of different stakeholders in Council of Europe member states and by improving structured dialogue for improvement of access to social rights for young people and implementation of Recommendation CM/Rec(2015)3. The project started with an International training for 1) improvement of youth workers’ competences to advocate for access to social rights for young people, and the use of Recommendation CM/Rec(2015)3 and 2) developing concrete advocacy strategies and action plans. As follow up to the training, participants and their organizations further developed and begun with implementation of the initially drafted action plans, in cooperation with the Y-SRN. Somewhere in the middle of the implementation of the Cinema of Social Rights a regional midterm meeting was organized in Greece where the participants met to support each other, evaluate what had been done so far, revise the strategy or local action plans if necessary and support the people who were just joining the activities to create their own local action plans. After this meeting the participants continued with implementation and finalization of their plans followed by online communication and support. In November 2-4 the project participants met once again to evaluate everything that had happened during the implementation of the working plan, exchange some thoughts on its follow up and to write everything in the Book of inspiration and inspire other young people who would want to advocate for social rights in the future. As a Participant I feel honored to be a part of the Cinema project. This was my first international project where I had the chance to practice what I had learnt not only in my reality but also in Greece together with my friends from different countries and realities. I learnt, I acted and I saw the outcomes. And as the campaign officer I studied every activity that took place in the scope of the project in different countries which the participants shared with all of us. You can check the ideas and opinions of other participants in the final video of Cinema project and learn their expectations too. Now that the project is over I am looking forward to its continuation with more campaigns and involvement of more young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
