The aim of the project is to raise and shape pro-ecological awareness among young people as it is, according to us, a great challenge for the young all over the world nowadays. Due to broadening their knowledge of the environment the students, we hope, will become more interested in the issues and, as a result, will lead better lives what may also influence their future career paths. We also think that the integration of young people coming from different European countries will prepare them be better citizens of the European Union.
