The period of the mobility will be 20 July-20 September 2014. We will participate for some days, to several activities in Cluj-Napoca (the heart of Transilvania and the European Youth Capital 2015).

The volunteers will have the chance to develop their social entrepreneurship skills, to develop a personal project involving their passions, in order to achieve the competences of a social entrepreneur in community development. 

The activities of the volunteers will be:
- promote nonformal education and volunteering in at least 20 touristic rural communities of Moldova and Bucovina,
- create and implement media campaign in order to promote the local heritage,
-  learn more about the culture of Romania,
-  use their creative skills to develop sustainable services,
- implement a personal project in one of these topics: arts, media, rural development, social-entrepreneurship. For example a volunteer passionate about films, can do a documentary about rural youth from Romania. 

The project responds to the needs of young people to acquire expertise to develop social entrepreneurship projects that create employment opportunities, both for themselves and for their peers. The young participants will have the opportunity to learn a new language, to participate in innovative activities that will develop creativity, entrepreneurial skills, communication and presentation, will interact with new non-formal education methods and tools, they will make analysis of the management and of the development strategies of the organization and will take the best practice models.
