The project contributes to the competitiveness of students by preparing them for real challenges in the field of international relations and European integration. In addition, these activities contribute to strengthening international cooperation by developing the exchange of information and ideas between participants from different countries. This stimulates cultural exchange and contributes to the formation of a global community that develops on the basis of common values and principles.
