How does your idea strengthen active citizenship at a local and community level?

The idea concerns important aspects of a human being: origin, culture, identity, belonging. We hope that by engaging various groups of people we will move their awareness. Thanks to this, we will create a chain of pro-social behavior. Good initiatives trigger people's willingness to act for the development of the local social structure. The essence of these activities is to look for common points of reference despite the differences.We have the support of many social authorities, which is important in promoting ideas.
