Taking it seriously – A guide to accompany the Enter!

It provides step-by-step information and guidance on the implementation of the recommendation: www.coe.int/en/web/enter/taking-it-seriously

The whole Enter! project was the subject of an impact study (2009-15) which is very useful in explaining different approaches and their effects on stakeholders: https://rm.coe.int/enter-impact-web/16808d3d81

The Council of Europe produced in 2012 the Enter Dignityland! card game on social rights. It is available to be downloaded in different language versions here: www.coe.int/en/web/enter/enter-dignityland-1 

With the Enter! Long-term training course the participants worked on improving access to social rights for young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Some of the examples of Enter! youth work projects can be found here: www.coe.int/en/web/enter/youth-work-projects
