- Support employability actions through active youth-adult cooperation
- Use emotional intelligence as a means of developing interpersonal skills and competences through young-adult relationships

The activities of the project aimed at achieving the project's objectives and achieving the planned results include the following:
The development of three intellectual products:
IO1.-Operational manual for the functioning of the local civic intergenerational councils and drafting of a Training Module based on the development of specific "hard" skills for the participants in the CIA.
