The expected impact is threefold: On the young participants and on their acquaintances, friends, families and fellow students; On the two twinned towns; On the two partner municipal authorities; On the regional authorities on both sides of the border (local authorities, local government and associations;. Above all, the aim is to develop reflection and to open up new perspectives. The outcome will involve a long-term evaluation of the positive impact of the approach. -The expected potential outcome will be to dispel a number of preconceptions and even mental blocks, to nurture a network of relations intended further to develop, on the basis of the partners' mutual desire better to know each other with as its consequence the establishment and strengthening of economic and cultural exchanges.
