COUNSELING (OFFICE)

The counseling office is an open platform which provides opportunities for solving problems together, exploring questions and discovering ways to change. It’s meant for people between the ages of 15 and 30 and guarantees anonymity, confidentiality, voluntary participation, and it’s free of charge. The counseling is available both in person or online.

SOFT SKILLS TRAINING

Soft skills training is an experiential training where we try living with people we don’t yet know, practice and gain new skills, and apply the skills we have already learned. Here we explore ourselves and others, discuss different topics, test our creativity as well as our cooking skills, meet new people and collaborate. It’s intended for people between the ages of 15 and 20.

WORKSHOPS

The Workshops program has developed as an answer to the needs and challenges the young face when growing up. With this program we are opening up the space to explore and understand ourselves, relationships, and our role in the community. We ensure a safe environment where young people can speak freely.

ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING

Practicing assertiveness is an experiential training which focuses on working on yourself, understanding your behavior, and learning how to accept and respect your feelings and self in relation to others. It’s designed for small groups of 8 to 14 people, aged between 19 and 30.

PROJECT WORK

Project work emerged as an answer to the current state of society and the needs of young people. Working on projects allows us to be flexible and open in how we react to their needs. These types of programs don’t have a constant form; this allows for complete innovativeness of the project’s creators. Project work isn’t a consistent program, instead it’s created at the individual’s or a group’s initiative.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

We strive for continuous learning and growth. We believe that, in addition to the many programs we offer, going abroad also brings new knowledge. Our international cooperation is based on youth exchanges or trainings where participants gain practical skills that are supported with a theoretical background. These programs ensure a connection among youth workers across the globe and provide an insight into foreign good practices with which we enrich our programs.
