The aim of the project is to empower, equip and give young people the tools they need to live responsible lives. At the same time, the project addresses topics such as gender-based violence, equality, sexual and reproductive health, and radicalisation. In connection with this project, two films "Miriam and Sam" have been produced, which explore the aforementioned themes. Work is now underway to create the third film in the "Miriam and Sam" series.
