The project was designed to improve social cohesion and mutual understanding among the population of (medium-sized) cosmopolitan cities. The participants in the network are towns with a diversified population tending to form separate socio-demographic groups, not enough involved in local life, sometimes at the expense of social cohesion. What was the approach used in the project? the land-based approach! In fact, the target public of the project was the local population, as a whole, in a town with diversified demographic profile, including the natives, expats, newly arrived migrants, precarious and vulnerable categories.
Objectives

- Sharing their local experience and exchange good practices with the rest of the network;
