The public youth welfare organizations promote the personal encounter of young people from different countries, their learning and working together, the exchange of experiences as well as the cooperation of children and young people across borders.

The measure is intended to enable young people to become better acquainted with other cultures and international contexts, to come to terms with them, to better recognize their own situation and to show understanding and tolerance towards foreign fellow citizens.

It should motivate young people to cooperate and to build a free and democratic Europe.

Funding is granted upon application in the form of financial contributions to the sponsor of the measure.
