Since the youth communities have been left behind during the transitional years, empowerment of youth initiatives, a sense of commitment, service, and responsibility to their community have been identified as a priority issues. The main issue this project addressed was the lack of initiative and opportunities for civic activism among young people. Very often neither youth nor community problems were resolved because there was no one to undertake action.

The aim of the project was to create sound cooperation and network connections between future youth leaders from Belgrade, Presevo and Bujanovac. Furthermore, it empowered them to gather local resources, address community concerns, get organized at the local and national level, and to raise funds for their own projects.
