To continue with a Euro-Med strategy that reinforces the cooperation between E.U. and Meda countries in the frame of the youth field.
To promote the idea of taking care of our environment all around Meda and E.U. countries by working on new partnership matching and new projects.
To multiply the effects of the outcomes.
