Description
The hosting organization is a municipal youth center aimed to provide a safe and inclusive environment supporting development, creativity and identity of youngsters, to enable them to engage in the society in an active and useful way during their free time, and to accompany them towards a responsible citizenship. The youth center uses the "open youth work" principle: it welcomes every young person, without placing preconditions for their beliefs, abilities, skills, knowledge and financial possibilities. In addition to the central headquarters, the institution also has various peripheral offices. Are you a creative person with lots of ideas and ready to bring them to life, maybe through music or art workshops? Join this project and unleash your personality through non-formal activities!
