By addressing these challenges, we aim to promote social inclusion, one of the core principles of Erasmus+.​

This directly supports the Erasmus+ program’s goal of promoting solidarity, understanding, and respect for cultural differences, while strengthening the European dimension of youth mobility.​

-Develop Intercultural Communication Skills:​Participants will engage in activities designed to enhance their intercultural communication skills, preparing them to interact effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds. This supports the Erasmus+ emphasis on improving personal and professional skills, enabling young people to contribute to a more inclusive and interconnected society.​

-Encourage Active Participation in Social Inclusion and Diversity:​
Through workshops and discussions on social inclusion and diversity, this exchange will encourage young people to take active roles in their communities. Aligning with the Erasmus+ objectives, we aim to empower youth to engage in civic life, promote active citizenship, and support social cohesion across Europe.​

-Strengthen International Cooperation and Mutual Understanding:​
The exchange will foster international cooperation by bringing together young people from diverse cultural backgrounds, encouraging mutual understanding, and building lasting relationships. This is in line with Erasmus+’s commitment to strengthening youth mobility and fostering international collaboration for a more inclusive and peaceful world.​
By aligning the exchange’s objectives with Erasmus+ program goals, we ensure that participants not only grow as individuals but also contribute to the broader European values of inclusion, solidarity, and intercultural dialogue.
