Our group was formed in 2003, as a youth organization and it is active in youth work. Our main aim is youth involvement in activities and discussions that has to do with important issues like the environment, education, job opportunities, unemployment, economy, intercultural awareness, volunteerism and others. The organisation cares about all generations regardless of their gender, age or ethnic background, particularly promoting youth diversity (understanding that young people naturally seek excitement. friendship and support. We believe that the most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is the exposure to different cultures.
