The three Latin female pioneers work together with the people of the community inside local projects. The projects seek to work on a small scale, though the activities of BCT span the entire city, involving citizens of Botkyrka. The main goal in every BCT project is to foster dialog inside the community with the aim of inspiring change and transformation in the long term. The headlined subject of BCT is communication. Every workgroup has a theme or a case addressing a social, communitarian or daily life subject.
