Over the course of two days, through a rich and interactive program, young participants will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and develop practical skills in areas such as soft skills, financial literacy, teamwork, mental health, educational mobility, gender equality, media literacy, and youth participation in decision-making. There will also be outdoor activities such as an Escape Room, scout challenges, sports and social games, and evening gatherings. The camp will conclude with a ceremonial certificate award.
