„Arts Included" was born primarily out of the need of volunteers from organizations belonging to the consortium and of young people from local communities of them to understand the importance of involving in the fight against discrimination, marginalization and hate speech, but also to participate actively and creatively in promotion of the European principles of tolerance, solidarity, cultural diversity, equality and non-discrimination.

The project objectives were: - To promote the non-formal education methods in social inclusion projects. - To develop key competences among young people. - To include 10 young people with few opportunities in the project activities. - To develop a visual tool for the promotion of the EU principles regarding solidarity, tolerance, equality and non-discrimination among young people. - To develop the intercultural dimension and pro social inclusion behaviours among the young participants. The main activity was a youth exchange held between 19th and 28th of April 2016, in Bacau, Romania, with the participation of 36 young people and group leaders from Romania, Italy, Poland, Macedonia and Spain.
