this field. EMVISION is encouraging the involvement of civil society
in creating and implementing inclusive youth policies, promoting
transnational co-operation, better knowledge of the European Union,

international environment, designing of actions with impact on
decision makers and increasing acceptability of participants to other
cultures. Participants will learn to support and promote inclusive

municipality, creating the necessary framework for increasing
mobility of YBVI from Cluj-Napoca, the premise of better social
inclusion, labor market insertion and stimulation of entrepreneurial
