We constantly work with young people and young adults, through non formal learning methods and vocational trainings in order to help them acquire skills, competencies and attitudes which help them become more successful in daily life and employment. It is important for us to make the communities we work with to think about the welfare of all its components.
We are an independent organisation, without any connection to ethnic, political or religious bodies.
