- Building a Strong Team: Fostering connections between project implementation leads was a key objective. This collaborative environment helps establish trust, which is crucial for the project’s overall success.
Objectives:
- Foster a stronger European identity among youth: By understanding Europe’s shared history, young people will appreciate the continent’s contributions to human rights, education, territorial structure, and democratic values.
