“The main objectives of this project were to give a chance for youngsters to:

  • Be aware of the importance of their active citizenship (at national and European levels) and active participation/initiative as well as a European cooperation to build the Europe we want and need
  • Develop self-confidence, creative and critical thinking and overcome their fear of expressing feelings and opinions
  • Adopt attitudes of mutual understanding, tolerance and solidarity towards cultural differences in order to build social cohesion within the EU
  • Debate youth unemployment reasons and consequences, understanding that creativity and entrepreneurship can be the best tools to succeed
  • Think about projects to implement on their local communities to become more inclusive” (3).
