The playgrounds manage organised children and family activities. Depending on the profile of the centre or club we work with an age group of 0-100.
Our organisation works actively in areas such as culture, leisure, ecology, equality, and disability. All our clubs are LBTQ-certified. Our organisation has many years' experience of youth exchanges and volunteer service in the old EU-programmes.
