Objectives

The primary objective of our project is to increase the active social role of young people through community activities and the development of mutually supportive co-operation, and to help them at individual level to develop real social relationships instead of virtual ones. Our project is based on the fact that despite that both our partner organizations and our association are organizing higher quality programs, the number of young people involved is not in direct proportion. At the same time, it is clear that the social activity of young people is realized in the virtual space, they have more and more acquaintances, "friends", but in reality their active social involvement and their participation in various programs that affect them are decreasing. We feel that the different social networks on the Internet are more alienating than the cohesive effect of both the community and the individual. Young people live their lives in the virtual space as part of a large community, but spend much less time and energy on their real social relationships, so we got the title "Social Loneliness".
