And we also plan to get European youth together with our youth living in the city to gather them around on mutual goals. We plan to host volunteers from our partners as ESC volunteers too. And we plan to enhance their education, that is why we are applying for this project. Our main target group is young people with fewer opportunities and our activities are designed to include these youth group. In the end of activities these young people with fewer opportunities will develop theirselves in social and cultural way.
