9. Activities and experience
What are the activities and experience of your organisation in the areas it works in?
We have a stable experience as a partner in educational projects organised abroad within the Youth in Action, Europe for Citizens, Grundtvig and Visegrad grant programmes for which we are actively finding appropriate participants within our target group. We are part of the Eurodesk network, as a regional partner in Central Bohemia. The key for us is to work on both local and international projects that append to each other and we try to cover broad scale of themes and topics according to what our target group finds interesting. We focus mainly on youth participation, intercultural understanding, active citizenship, entrepreneurship, but also art and culture which we more often utilize as the working method. Within our activities, we promote and apply the principles of tolerance to diversity, open discussion, active initiatives, volunteering, non-formal education and intercultural learning.
