- To exchange good practices how to deal with conflicts and danger situations during youth exchanges and how to mediate them

- To support group leaders to facilitate the learning process of participants

-To create a common understanding of young people with fewer opportunities and give partners and their youth workers with necessary competences to guarantee the inclusion of these youngsters in international projects
