   Agros Youth Club hosted a youth exchange "SPREAD YOUR WINGS" in Agros village in Cyprus from the 27th of March until 5th of April 2015. Germany, Greece, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Estonia, Romania, France, Lithuania and Cyprus were partner countries. 50 participants took part in the project (4 participants + 1 leader).

   The main objective of “Spread your wings“ project was to sensitize and increase the level of awareness of the youngsters in what relates the integration of immigrants. To reach this point the following objectives were proposed:

   - To create an adequate environment where all participants could expose their experiences relating immigration in the process of integration and to propose solutions to ease the process during the activities of the project.

   - To inform and make aware a number of minimum 200 people of the immigration problem inside the European Union, both during and at the end of the activities;

   - To raise the level of tolerance of the participants of the project as well as of the community (where it took place) towards immigrants in particular and persons from different race, religion or ethnicity.

   - To create the foundation for a future collaboration between partners of the project for future ones on the same theme or similar ones for a 2 years period.
