The main objective of the project was to facilitate generational and international dialogue on the common European values by involving participants from two target groups (young adults and elderly adults) and three different countries (Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Turkey). Our more specific objectives entailed: 1) increase knowledge and raise awareness on the broad spectrum of EU programmes ( in particular Erasmus+) which are provided to citizens of all ages and backgrounds; Linked to ADU PRIORITY: Promoting Erasmus+ among all citizens and generations. 2) Share and learn about Europe's values by reflecting on the way people lived in the past and live in the present. 3) Interpret European cultural heritage ( world- famous and less notable sites) by providing opportunities to seniors and youth to exchange experiences in a joint environment. The two latter objectives are directly linked to HORIZONTAL PRIORITY: Common values, civic engagement and participation.
