The Romanian Team became a beacon of community change through the following implemented missions:
Giving Personality to Local Spaces
Students worked together with teachers, with the support of the school administration to implement this mission. Local public spaces were re-created and re-invigorated during this mission. The impact it had on the community life was that the community members started to enjoy their city more, they admired the changes brought about by the youth and got a place to be, to go and feel proud about. This further led to a feeling of ‘I belong here’ – not only in the place but rather with the people, who care about it.

Boosting Resilience against Stress
“The mission focused on mental well-being and psychological resilience and a set of mission activities reflected how well the young people observed and analysed their community needs: mental issues are often invisible and easily dismissible.”
