It also shows how important is the human resource- young people, volunteers, youth workers and community members- no matter what is their background, but they possess unlimited potential- and tries to bring different stakeholders closer to each other, to unite power for quality.The project gives a better understanding of the value of diversity and encourage to become active to develop key competencies needed for qualitative personal and professional life. In long term, it will show more active citizens open to intercultural dialogue and even greater willingness to collaborate and participate in international youth work.
