At the end of March, our team had the pleasure of organizing the Large Scale Mobility Event in the vibrant city of Sofia, Bulgaria. This event brought together 100 dynamic young individuals from diverse backgrounds, representing Bulgaria, France, Italy, Latvia, and Romania.

Over the course of two enriching days, participants engaged in engaging activities aimed at fostering teamwork, deepening their understanding of the European Union, and forging connections with decision-makers at local, national, and European levels. Moreover, they had the invaluable opportunity to interact with representatives from civil society, broadening their perspectives and understanding of civic engagement.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed speakers whose invaluable insights and inspiring contributions left a lasting impact on the young participants.

We are delighted to announce that for the upcoming deadline of the Erasmus+ Programme, our youth ambassadors are gearing up to submit two visionary projects: "How to be Wonderful," focusing on promoting healthy lifestyles and sustainability, and "NEETs need information," dedicated to empowering NEETs (young people Not in Education, Employment, or Training) with access to crucial information regarding job opportunities.
