The program focuses on promoting important values, including respecting differences, strengthening shared national identity, and encouraging dialogue culture, helping create a generation capable of dealing positively with cultural and social diversity.

The camp also aims to transform young participants from simple activity members into active individuals capable of leading community initiatives that serve society.
