YOU4BLUE - Young generations for sustainable blue growth
The Erasmus+ YOU4BLUE project took place in three different Mediterranean islands (Sardinia, Crete and Majorca) from three different E.U. nations: Italy, Greece and Spain and its most important aims were to promote the development of a 'new' relationship between young people and their home environment, in order to enable students to be active citizens in their community.
