Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

The project objective is to pay attention to our target group, people with a mental illness or disabilities, age 18-35. To visualise that many of them are creative and artistic. We want to create a context for them to be notified. Our younger participants need an arena where their skills can be noticed, skills that aren´t necessary handicraft. The aim is to receive the support required to achieve his/her goals and have meaningful activities.

Objectives to be achieved: Create opportunities for youth aged 18-35. We believe that youth tends to be more interested and skilled in media and new technology. Most youth have grown up with internet, it is a natural way of their daily life. We think it is a great idea that youth with mental illness could be able to get the support to access the context of modern society.
