From Our Friends
Tijekom godina smo sklopili brojna poznanstva i stekli prijatelje iz cijelog svijeta. Evo što sami kažu o najboljim iskustvima koja su doživjeli kod nas:
"I've learned that it is worth to fight for difference among sharks and to speak open about hard things. I'm always personally pushed forward after I recieve positive energy from people, especially if it comes from people that survived such hard times as are Vukovar residents."

We have great experience in the field of youth work and good contacts with many international and national organisations and networks.
We have participated in the process of creation of National Youth Action Program. In partnership with PRONI Centre for social education we have created Vukovarsko-srijemska County Youth Action Program.
Through our work we stimulate institutions to develop and implement different Programs for youth such us Non-government bill about National-level Youth Councils, Youth Action Program for town of Vukovar etc.
We are the only organisation in the Vukovarsko-Srijemska County with a full membership status in head international organisations and with lasting international relationships. We are also one of only a few organisations in Croatia with access to European volunteer programs such as EVS (European Voluntary Service), sponsored by European Commission, which enables us to participate in successful volunteer exchange campaigns. Among our exchange partners are some of the world renown organisations - ICYE International, ICYE UK, ICYE Austria and YAP (Youth Action for Peace), to name a few.
