💼 What the programme involves
With our Romanian partner, you will ensure that the local young people have the knowledge, skills, and motivation to become effective citizens who participate in public decision-making processes. You will participate in the design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of non-formal activities focused on solidarity, social inclusion and eco-friendly behaviors. You will also get the chance to implement your own ideas, as long as they match with the objectives of the project.
