The origin of this project has been a Partnership Building Activity called "Regional Youth Observatories" that took place in April 21-27, 2008 in Turgu Jiu, Romania, where the framework of this project was designed and launched. Eight people from 6 countries agreed on a common planning on networking activities with the purpose of raising awareness about intercultural diversity. The aim is to break stereotypes existing within our societies focusing on the younger generations.

We understand that a balanced sharing of experiences and knowledge from our cultures and realities will be helpful for us and other individuals to find different solutions to various conflicts arising cultural differences and misunderstandings. European values of tolerance and respect for human rights and equality are the key points of our networking activities. We also believe that is also important to motivate our youngsters as an ultimate objective of our networking process.

The initial preparation was realized in Romania, during the Regional Youth Observatories meeting in April 2008. During the seminar we worked on the common interests concerning the support of the youth with fewer opportunities, in particular those from rural areas and other excluded groups. Further preparation was realized through electronic communication e-mail and series of online meetings. The Networking Activity is specially concentrated on creation of a common platform of sharing and cooperation. This will include such tools as creation of a web platform, joint publication of educational and promotional materials, network meetings, visits, online conferences and parallel national activities, with further visualisation and sharing of good practice generated with Network partners (through web and meetings).Every country will be responsible of the context of the activities on the local level. Participants will contribute with the materials for the web-page as well as will be responsible for dissemination of results acquired in other countries in their countries amongst their respective target groups, to provide coherence and sharing.
