The information will be free of charge, based on psychological, socio-pedagogical and sociological theories, and delivered in an interactive and attractive way (with animations, games, and music), comprehensive and according to the age style. It is essential that the project is implemented in Kjustendil and Leskovac since they are some of the major cities in the cross-border region, and achieving project’s goal and improving the regions’ capacity for dealing with the problems of disadvantaged groups would significantly improve the capacity for promoting social inclusion of the disadvantaged groups, of raising awareness and preventing discrimination in the cross-border region as a whole. Also, the partnership between “Viva Pautalia” and "People’s Parliament" is very crucial due to the fact that both the organizations are presented by professionals who are familiar with the topic and highly experienced in dealing with problems of disadvantaged groups in the cross-border region.
