Target Group:

The target group of the programme are children and young people from 8 - 26 years.

Our Goal:

is to support the target group in the town of Olomouc to develop skills, knowledge, skills and habits which will lead to active approach in solving life situations by offering suitable services, methods and activities. That means to develop self-confidence, independence, responsibility for one's own behaviour and social competencies, which will lead to personality development, and also prevent social-pathological phenomena with subsequent social exclusion. It is also substantial to provide sufficient information or arrange for expert counselling. We motivate children and young people to learning and entry to the labour market. We want to prevent and to reduce discrimination of children and young people in the society based on their ethnic or life in a ghetto. We try to strengthen relationships with the Romany community and other organizations.
