Our goal is to support the personal and professional development of young people through educational projects, mobility, and volunteering, while promoting European values and active participation.We are active in key areas for young people: non-formal education and training (workshops on entrepreneurship, leadership, digital skills, sustainability), social inclusion (mentoring and counseling for young people with fewer opportunities), sustainable development, digital transformation (including the responsible use of artificial intelligence and online safety), and civic engagement (debates, simulations, projects on European values and rights). We place a major emphasis on supporting young people from rural communities and disadvantaged backgrounds, including NEETs, through mentoring, training, and counseling programs that increase their chances of educational and professional integration. We collaborate with high schools, universities, youth centers, and local authorities to offer a variety of learning opportunities. Although we are a relatively new applicant to Erasmus as an organization, we have solid expertise through our members (former and current Erasmus+ beneficiaries) and experience in inclusion, digitization, and educational partnership projects. Through all our initiatives, we aim to expand young people's access—especially those from rural areas—to education, modern skills, and civic participation, contributing to the development of local communities and connecting them with the European space.
