Such projects help young people more easily find programs, opportunities, or centers where they can develop personally and strengthen their skills.
Iulia Cașineanu, Youth Worker Youth District Center Cahul
Today, young people have many opportunities for development, but it is extremely important that they are informed correctly and on time. Such projects have not only supported me as a youth worker, by offering useful resources and tools, but also had a direct impact on youth, helping them discover new opportunities, programs, and centers where they can develop both personal abilities and essential competencies for their future.
