Leisure has been identified as a key component in the quality of life.

In addition to visualize the benefits offered by the European Voluntary Service and the learning experience it provides, it is to strengthen the comprehensive development of young people who go to Project AMADIP.ESMENT ..Long-term benefit will be that both the motivation, tolerance, respect for other cultures, and the desire to participate in a European project for the youth of our community will be significantly increased impacting increased youth mobility within the group of 17-30 years of our community.
