- understand better social and cultural diversity;
- improve foreign language skills;
- expand their knowledge about other cultures, breaking down stereotypes and increasing their awareness of other European countries and traditions (including here oversea territories);
- gain more information about the public policies regarding social inclusion, the Erasmus+ Programme, the Youthpass and its benefits.
- learn new ways of independent living and efficient ways to interact with relevant public institutions, in order to develop procedures and policies regarding a more inclusive and accessible community;
- become ambassadors of their marginalized peers in their own community;
The 5 are the target direct group that during the project will become a consultative and informative group that will collaborate with local decision makers. To achieve this goal, they will use social media as a tool by becoming social influencers.
