As this project is based on the assumption that young people are the "seed" of the future. Of their future, but also that of their town, of their Country and, finally, of a diverse but united Europe.Therefore, the aim of this project is to introduce participants their rights but also their duties, responsibilities and opportunities inherent in being citizens and acting as citizens. The main topics are European awareness, active European citizenship, social responsibility, creativity and entrepreneurship, protection of the environment but also the health and well-being.The objectives and the impact of the project will affect primarily the participants but then, consequently, their own families, communities and their towns.

Hence, the project's impact on young participants and their local communities will be realised when these objectives will be achieved and maintained not only in the immediate, but in the medium and long term as well.

Therefore, it is It hopes that towns and communities will be a little more affected by a new enthusiasm and will-to-do. At the level of partner organizations, in addition, the impact of this project could lead to new solutions and projects that can "capitalize" the assets acquired and promote other forms of interaction among partners around themes, objectives and common sensibility.The method used will be based on non-formal and experiencial learning, on intercultural dialogue, tolerance, solidarity and social inclusion.
