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."
Oliver Sertić,
Croatia

History

Youth Peace Group "Danube" is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation, operating in the area of the city of Vukovar and its surroundings. Our goal is to, through self-development, character building and networking, promote the work of young people, as well as emancipation of individualism and personal freedoms.

The organisation was registered in 1998. It is necessary to emphasize that the Ministry of Family, Defenders and Intergenerational Solidarity (among other donors) recognized our work and by regular project financing gave us the opportunity to partly continue and maintain the continuance of our work during the past 10 years. 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.
