Formação: We will offer them the possibility to improve their self development, by using the resources of our association and start their own projects (workshops, language clases, cultural projects…) as well as spreading the concept of Europe, since living in an island makes it more difficult for its inhabitants to share the european feeling.
Hosting in our organisation, europan youngster will allow us to improve the quality of the projects dealing with European awareness, and will give us more credits and resources to implement activities in this field, involving local youngsters. We hope that it will open new space for exchange, participation and colaboration between volunteers and young people (member of our association), boosting youth participation through the project we want to realise in our local community.
