In this regard, we see the importance of connecting youth with different backgrounds together, promoting dialogue between different groups of people and helping to develop an independent, progressive and upgraded civil society.

The aim of the organization is to facilitate the communitarian European integration, and promote the knowledge of the European culture among the young people, in particular, and of all the citizens, in general. We aim to improve the quality of life of people in our town and the region of Puglia, as well to foster social inclusion and civic activism. Our goals are also to develop cultural, democratic, social and ecological conscience among youth, to encourage cooperation of young people with different interests and activities, and to increase influence of young people on the local community. Also, the main aim of our association is to foster youth participation of young people in civil society, to bring social changes, development and improvement of society where we live, using different tools and mainly focused on youth field.
We aim to educate young people in order to give them opportunity to spread everything they have learned and to encourage them to become actively involved in the life of their community.
We have been engaged in different youth activities as volunteers and during this period we have gained a lot of experience, increasing our knowledge with a direct impact on our personal and social development. We have been participating and helping in facilitation of similar activities and this is what gave us the motivation to continue with our own actions.

We have participated in several European activities, such as youth debates, workshops, exchanges, trainings and seminars within the Youth in Action and ERASMUS + Programme. We have several strong partnerships with European institutions on local level, such as EURES, EUROPE DIRECT and EURODESK and partnership on local level with Municipality of Corato, Forum Giovani Puglia and Centro Studi Diritto dei Lavori.
