This T4T, titled Building Synergies for Better Health, will not only be a training for new soft-skills trainers but will emphasize the importance of soft skills and interprofessional collaboration in and for (youth) health.

The aim is also to improve intersectoral collaboration among young (future) professionals by giving them opportunities to develop their soft skills and learn how to integrate them into their professional lives when it comes to their studies, as well as their work in youth organizations/student associations.
