Objectives

JUMP-IN project has the main aim to find new ways of solving problems in different EU communities faced by the young people and to increase the appetite of young Europeans for physical activities, volunteering, local or global initiatives in order to solve the particular problems of the present day. These solutions can be achieved in full collaboration, solidarity and understanding, and the title of the project clearly expresses the desire to motivate young people achieve the proposed goals. The presence of young people with reduced opportunities in the project, in teams will draw attention to the importance of their inclusion and help them realize that they are equal to their colleagues, have the same rights and duties and encourage them in the need to support the same values. Taking into consideration the process of working in a team during the project, they will have to do the same on a macro scale, because European Union and Europe as a whole are a great team which has common ideals for all its members and citizens. Our unique mobility of young people JUMP-IN brings 56 participants from 8 different programme countries: Norway, Turkey, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Serbia, Estonia and Lithuania to give the opportunity for youth from different backgrounds to learn and experience different methods of non-formal education in order to empower them to be more active in civil society and encourage developing various skills and aptitudes needed in their personal and professional development on inclusion initiatives as such.
