The current era is characterized by contradictions and deep contrasts.

It is therefore of great challenge to fight contradictions, to secure prosperity for all countries, to improve quality of life.The main lever of development and progress should be the human capital itself as long as it is provided with qualitative education and training, which will help to face labor market challenges and contribute to solving problems which affect economy.In this direction, the education system should prepare its learners for their integration into society and the labor market accordingly.The main aim of this project is primarily to enrich participants' knowledge, skills and attitudes, to bring them in contact with the modern labor reality, to develop entrepreneurship and to cultivate personal traits, such as adaptability, flexibility, self-confidence, teamwork, resourcefulness and self-esteem.The specific objectives of the project are to acquire intercultural awareness by the participants after their interaction with the citizens of a European city, to practice a foreign language, to experience another European culture and to mitigate stereotype and racist attitudes.
