Summary:	The project hoped to encourage young people as well as youth and culture organizations to learn to know the culture and habits of parttaking countries and their project areas. Challenges for young people as well as organizations are slightly different in different countries but the main problems – young people moving away from countryside and organizations lacking people willing to partake in voluntary work – are similar in rural areas. The project assisted young people and organizations to learn to know from each other’s good practices. It created bridges between areas and actors by organizing youth camps in all the three partaking countries.
