3. Increase the participation level of Romanian young NEETs in E+, ESC and EYE programs, by providing accessible and effective growth opportunities for at least 100 beneficiaries from the community, to gain useful experience and develop their competences, as well as facilitating their active citizenship attitude.

4. Grow the awareness and participation enthusiasm level of youngsters/students in Bucharest/Ilfov regarding E+, ESC, EYE programs.
