Building Bridges for Youth Empowerment" had as its main goal the improvement of the work with the young people and the increase of the impact in the community of the youth centers partners in the project. The project had the following objectives: - promoting the exchange of good practices of the 5 youth centers from European partners in the project - connecting people from local communities so that the 5 youth centers included in the project to become open spaces for all categories of young people. - creating an international network of your youth centers that can be extended every year with a new youth center from Europe.
The vision of the project was to promote the exchange of good practices among the youth centers in Europe partners in the project. We wanted to do this project to learn from other Youth Centers how to communicate better with the community, what recurrent activities to introduce in our organizations, and how to empower young people to become resource people for the Youth Center. Most of the partners are located in small cities like Ramnicu Valcea and all of them needed information exchange, and research of new resources adapted to today's youth. We wanted to expand our ideas for the development of our Youth Center program and we would like to strengthen an international network of small Youth Centers that want to learn new ways to grow in the community. Another need was that we don't have a European network of youth centers with information on the unicity of each space that has a common purpose in youth work.
