3rd SCOM in Cluj-Napoca completed!

Dear follower, dear consortium members, dear all!

It is almost incredible to believe how quickly time passes. Having celebrated one full year since the launch of SMILE Incubator, and now concluding the 3rd SCOM (Steering Committee Meeting) in the wonderful city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, our team is stronger and more determined than ever.

Our project also successfully passed the first year review (FYR) and is effectively moving trough the third period, which is also one of the more busier periods of the project, but also the most rewarding. Now we go into action! Organizing workshops, building synergies and networks with stakeholders - all to empower rural youth with leaderships skills, and also tackling digital (social) media literacy, which will foster a self-reliant and inclusive environment for young people to thrive in.

Our SCOM only solidified our ambitions and wishes of what this project really means, and what positive changes it brings. With all of the technicalities settled and ideas aligned, we are more than confident to see this trough.

To the team: Thank you all for your hard and dedicated effort you put into the project, especially sacrificing time you could have spent elsewhere, making sure that rural areas don't remain forgotten and are brought into the light they deserve. It not only a pleasure, but a privilege to be working with such dedicated members of the consortium. This one is for you.

Time continues to go on, but so does SMILE. Make sure to smile with us. Until next time in Sofia, Bulgaria. And remember:

"Rocks in my path? I keep them all. With them I shall build my castle." - Nemo Nox

Mulțumesc Romania, mulțumesc team!
