Description

The main objective of the project is widening the territorial and age range, as well as diversifying and increasing the variety of activities carried out by the YC team. This gives the team the opportunity to reach young people and their families who live in settlements far from the municipal centre. Through youth activities implemented on the basis of non-formal education methods, cities and villages will be reached in the area where young people at risk and their families reside. This will provide access to the activities of the youth centre of people, who for territorial, socio-cultural or economic reasons are unable to participate directly in the activity of the centre. The focus of the YC team is on children, young people and the elderly from ethnic minorities, those at risk and dropouts from the formal education system, those placed in residential social services, at risk of poverty and social exclusion. The main goal of the centre''s activities is to involve and create conditions for support, social inclusion and personal development of the people involved. The goal will be achieved by informing, consulting, trainings, etc. In order to ensure better and more diverse activities, the youth centre team, together with representatives of the target group, will participate in the exchange of experience and good practices with partner organizations from the country, donor countries and other EU countries. Through exchanges of good practices and the inclusion of young people from vulnerable groups in them, it will be possible to broaden the horizons of young people, enrich their culture and create self-confidence in them. The implementation of activities of the Youth Centre in its various directions is aimed at creating a prerequisite for social inclusion and inclusion of vulnerable groups, personal development and acquisition of new knowledge and skills, psychological and counseling support and empowerment of young people and their families.
