• strengthening feeling the value by creating art;
• support the development of a young person, strengthening self-esteem,

  -the knowledge on building the identity of youth in the European Union society
• awareness international sense of security through unity in diversity,
• promotion youth initiatives, communication in a foreign language, the idea of tolerance and understanding for other cultures,
  religion and customs.

All of the above were reached through means of non-formal education. There were not given lectures, but it was guiding and motivation of the participants to work in groups, to find their own conclusions and develop communication and group-working skills.
