The project invited secondary schools of the Danube Region to a creative joint venture of thinking and acting together in four thematic areas: active citizenship, cultural dialogue, sustainable development and social responsibility and entrepreneurship. Around 110 teachers have gained experience in regional project implementation. 400 students have actively participated in four regional projects in fields relevant for the Danube Region.
