The aim of the project is to promote and protect European values ​​by enabling grassroots informal civil society groups and active citizens in Europe to act more effectively and to strengthen their impact on society, both at local and EU level.
With this project we aim to promote EU values ​​such as: freedom, the right to associate, social inclusion, European citizenship and to strengthen the implementation of the values ​​contained in, among others, the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.
We want to get to know informal groups and encourage them, as they are contributing a lot to the benefit of the whole community. We believe that they are the future of Europe.

• to define a common European framework for supporting informal groups,
