It wants to be a moral, spiritual and cultural cleansing of the youngsters, towards abating drug use. The project will be developed over the course of 14 months, between 05.08.2014 – 05.10.2015, involving promoters form 6 countries: Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, Malta and Romania. The project was created as a youth exchange, during a period of 9 days. The youth exchange will take place in Rimnicu Sarat, between the 14th and the 22nd of September, and it addresses 36 youngsters with ages between 16 and 19 years, along with 6 group leaders. Of the youngsters, some will come from vulnerable social and economic environments,(single parent families, precarious economic situations), which could make them take bad decisions, like using illegal drugs.
