Our target group is represented by rural youth in the village, aprox 36 pupils aging 10-15 and 27 young people aging 15-19 who have low access to information in general, must travel to attend school in a next village every day by school bus and because are involved in the housekeeping tasks helping their family and travel to school have almost no time to invest in their homework for school n special and inn their education in general . Our target group has low interest for education also because they cannot be helped by their parents in school tasks, have no computer access and no other educational support.
