The main goals of the project were cleaning the shores of Sevan and to call public attention to ecological problems of the lake.

More than 600 youth volunteers from the Regions of RA, Germany, USA, Philippines, Syria, Spain and Russia, Norway participated in the camps, organized in the framework of the project.
