The partners that make up the work team are centers in Poland, Greece, Croatia, Portugal, Spain, and Romania, who will be the project's coordinators. The activities will focus on the new democratic values ​​in the current geopolitical situation: the multiculturalism of society, equality, equity, the integration of migrants in our schools and communities, the role of women, mediation, and assertiveness... The project will be developed in six stages (one in each member country). Five students and two teachers from each country will meet in every mobility.
