It focused on social diplomacy, intercultural dialogue and shared problem-solving. Network partners supported volunteers in developing new ideas, drafting projects, strengthening organisational capacity and deepening knowledge of Erasmus+ and EYF opportunities. Activities were adapted to volunteers’ interests.

They prepared information stands and local outreach events. They produced digital content and storytelling videos for the organisation’s blog. They supported dissemination and project visibility. They assisted in drafting Erasmus+ project proposals. Consortium planned to send 22 volunteers to four countries.
