The project partners wanted to implement the project to strengthen the capacity of (youth) CSOs to contribute to youth-driven and community-based processes of social transformation for community development. Key aspects of the project were to strengthen their understanding of youth-driven and community-based processes of social transformation and increasing their competences in developing transnational initiatives - in the frame of the European Solidarity Corp Programme (ESC) – that aim to foster social change in local communities across Europe and fostering a sense of European solidarity through direct community volunteering. In this regard, the specific project objectives where the following: • To strengthen the understanding on approaches to social transformation as a tool for community development and change-making • To increase the use of systematic and long-term approaches and practices to youth-driven transformative community work through community-based and international volunteering • To establish transnational links between CSOs in the youth sector and translate them into project-based partnership for needs-based social transformation within the ESC framework
