Our mission is to promote intercultural dialogue and the spirit of friendship and cooperation between countries through mobility programmes. Furthermore, we are trying to encourage lifelong learning and research through international co operations. We believe in the importance of non-formal education as a powerful tool for breaking stereotypes and for the achievement of social inclusion and mutual understanding among people with different cultural backgrounds. In addition, we promote the exchange of good practices in order to achieve the development of skills and competences at personal and professional level. Moreover, we try to raise the awareness among young generations about several important issues and at the same time to motivate them to think and take action.
