Projekt uključuje dva volontera s manje mogućnosti iz Španjolske i Portugala, koji će volontirati u Udruzi za mlade Alfa Albona u Labinu kroz 6 mjeseci na projektu koji teži promicanju i širenju vrijednosti volontiranja zajedno sa stvaranjem mogućnosti za aktivan angažman mladih. Volonteri će imati priliku volontirati i razvijati nove vještine, te ujedno i razvijati svijest o toleranciji, socijalnoj isključenosti, siromaštvu, kulturnim razlikama. Ciljevi projekta su osnažiti i potaknuti mlade da djeluju kao multiplikatori u lokalnoj zajednici pomoću neformalnog obrazovanja i volonterstva kao pokretača za vlastiti razvoj i vodstvo. Očekivani ishod je da mladi nakon ovog projekta imaju potrebne informacije, motivaciju i sposobnosti da preuzmu inicijativu u svoje ruke, kao i mogućnosti prenijeti svoje stečeno znanje na druge mlade. Projekt je kombinacija različitih aktivnosti i metoda koje će se odraziti na sudionike da postanu svjesni potrebe za promicanje kulturnih raznolikosti kroz poduzetništvo, kreativnost i aktivno sudjelovanje. U sklopu projekta volonteri će istraživati razne društveno - kulturne sfere i ojačati osjećaj europskog građanstva kroz neformalan način obrazovanja i putem raznih aktivnosti za mlade koje udruga vodi, kao što su Lokalni volonterski centar, Klub mladih te Info centar za mlade Istarske županije.
