Asociatia AUM started implementing a new project called “Colinele Transilvaniei de la cultură la natură” (EN: Transylvania Highlands from culture to nature), in partnership with Fundaţia ADEPT Transilvania, Asociaţia Mioritics and Colinele Transilvaniei. The project is funded by Fundaţia pentru Parteneriat and MOL România, and will be taking place for 6 months, between May and October 2021. The project aims to raise awareness and involve the local community in getting to know their natural and cultural heritage as well as in preserving and promoting the protected area of Sighişoara - Târnava Mare. The region that includes the protected area of Sighişoara - Târnava Mare is unique in Europe due to its biodiversity and mosaic-like landscapes.

The theme is sexual education (sexual health and harmonious relationships) and is targeting the young people of Sighişoara. Our volunteers have been trained on this topic by specialists of ARAS România in all topics related to sexual education as well as on teenager brain development and risk behavior, conflict management and assertive communication.

The first stage of the European Solidarity Corps project LOVE Actually! was short-term and it was implemented by 15 volunteers. The project took place between October and December 2020 and it had the theme of healthy lifestyle. Because of the restrictions that the pandemic imposed, the project's activities and schedule were adapted and moved mainly online. During the project we conducted research within the Sighişoara community for youngsters and adults to find out the knowledge and opinion people have on the topic of sexual education. Internally, our volunteers had specialized training on the same topic and learned about the laws related to it. Throughout "November - the month of solidarity for health" we organized an online public health campaign divided into four main topics: hygiene, nutrition, sexual education and mental health.
