  1. raise youth’s awareness of social exclusion that people from the villages are facing in urban areas as well as to provide them with specific tools and support to fight that;
  2. identify the most common stereotypes towards people whose place of origin is countryside, and find ways to tackle that;
  3. increase cooperation between village and city youth in order to create opportunities for joint work and social initiatives.
