Association Forest

Forest is an organisation which aims at improving quality of life of our local community and wider. Forest was born as an idea of a group of friends, who were already actively involved in other NGOs. Our mission is to raise cultural, ecological and social awareness, sustainability as well as encourage healthy lifestyle among youth. As all members are heavily involved in sports and arts we organise yoga, juggling, acroyoga and acrobalance workshops and encourage young people to use their imagination and to express themselves creatively through performance and sports. Our current interest is social circus or social pedagogy, an innovative tool for the education and social inclusion of children and young people with fewer opportunities. The primary goal is to assist with participants’ personal and social development by nurturing their self-esteem and trust in others, as well as by helping them to acquire social skills, become active citizens, express their creativity and realize their potential. We promote humanitarian work and cooperation with other NGOs and we wish to further expand our partner connections and share experiences, knowledge and fun. New creative ideas and projects are always welcome and we hope to form strong and long-lasting partnerships with similar youth organisations.
