Our Project's Theme

"IN&OUT" emphasizes on self-knowledge, self-improvement, innovation and HR. According to Billie Jean King, self-awareness is the most important thing towards being a champion. Through this project, we aim to focus on the need to know ourselves, to discover and "block" the factors that hamper our self-awareness, such as the encroachment of HR, and to be more innovative. Visualizing the person, we want to be, will help us figure out what we need to do to get there. One "key" to "unlock" our goals is to think differently. Novelty will reduce discrimination and will raise self-development and cooperation between youth in EU, by promoting relevant activities during this training and by training the participants who will then train and educate young people in their countries, hoping that this project will contribute even at a tiny level, in the participants' further exertions. Anything worthwhile requires time and effort, results worth it. Our future depends on many things, but mostly on us!
