Raising social cohesion in the community

Structured and informal youth club mentoring models position older youth as positive role models.
Active Civic Citizenship
Participation in grassroots initiatives (e.g., European Solidarity Corps, volunteering) instills democratic values and cross-cultural empathy.

“Before JPE, I felt completely disconnected. The mentoring didn’t just help me pass exams – it taught me how to understand my emotions and give back.”
