About the project

The project aims to mobilize 20 communities from Botoșani, Iași and Vaslui counties in order to participate at the public decisions making that affects them. Therefore, 2000 young people (with the age between 14 and 35) with spirit of initiative are encouraged and supported to actively participate in the promotion and implementation of their own ideas regarding aspects related to the improvement of life in their communities.
