The TEAM project's main goal is to create a learning environment for young people with fewer opportunities from partner and program countries. We want the participants to enhance their social capital and get on their path of social development.

At the same time, the project aims to contribute to the reinforcement of intercultural dialogue, promote solidarity, youth policy, active citizenship, and European awareness in the area of Blagoevgrad. We will provide young people with an opportunity to undertake volunteering mobility in a youth organization that is an active youth work provider in its area, as ABS is in Blagoevgrad.

Thus, we will create a win-win situation: the local community of Blagoevgrad greatly benefits from raised intercultural awareness and European citizenship, understanding better the main principles and specific objectives of the ESC Program, while the volunteers acquire unique knowledge that impacts their employability potential and the practices they learn can be reduplicated in their home communities.

Moreover, the skills and competencies the participants will acquire through participating in TEAM are transferable, which means that they will help them in the future to find a job or when applying for a university degree, internship, or other relevant fields.
