The goal of the project is to promote awareness of the Solidarity Corps through the activities offered to the youth of Rujienas district, which will encourage young people to engage in such projects and will activate the local community. The project is initiating cooperation with the Rujiena district municipality institutions visited by children, young people and seniors – Social Care Center “Lode”, Rujienas Multifunctional Youth Initiative Center, Rujiena Library, Rujiena Secondary School and Association “Rujiena Seniors House”. The short-term goal of the project is to offer various activities available to the local community in Rujiena, for children, young people and seniors. Volunteers will develop and get to know their personality, will learn more about cultural differences and will share their experience and knowledge during the project. The long-term goal is to establish close cooperation between socially active institutions and organizations united by Solidarity Corps youth from different countries. The implementation of this project will help to develop open societies and acquisition of knowledge about the cultures of different countries. The implementation of this project will help the local community to improve linguistic knowledge and raise awareness of European citizenship.
