The project “Youth4Youth” is a Volunteering project that took place in the city of Athens in Greece and lasted 5 months.
The main topics addressed by the activity are cultural diversity and exchange as well as intercultural dialogue, environmental awareness, quality use of youth free time and volunteering.
