The main goal\u00a0<\/strong>of the project is to develop social skills (self-confidence, responsibility, decision-making, emotional intelligence, communication of personal needs) among 2000 disadvantaged young people from Transylvania between 13-18 years old of age with the help of 130 non-formal programs. During the 23 months of the project we will cooperate with 9 young ESC (European Solidarity Corps) volunteers between 18-30 years old of age from abroad, which in their turn will increase their ability of taking initiative and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

The objectives are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

O 1: The increasing of at least 5 skills, personal and technical competences among 2000 local young people during the volunteering periods, which have a length of 9 months.<\/p>\n

O 2: Improvement of taking the initiative and entrepreneurship skills among those 9 young ESC volunteers from abroad, who will work with local young people, each for a period of 9 months.<\/p>\n

O3: Increased organizational capacity of our organization with 25%, in the sense of implementing more various programs, from an intercultural point of view.<\/p>\n

\u2013 expeditions\/ climbing in the ropes course and on the rock\/ programs on the water, which offer the biggest challenges and take the individuals out of their comfort zone but in a safe way. Facing the challenges gives a sense of \u201cThere is more in me\u201d for local youngsters and contributes to increasing their self-confidence.
