In the upcoming period, the organization is already preparing the implementation of five new projects. Two projects of the Ministry of Sports are supported by the Competition for financing and co-financing programs and projects based on the annual plan for achieving the national youth strategy for 2018. The first project is “Youth Information – Youth Information Service”, which aims at increasing the level of information and active participation of young people in Montenegro. Another project that we will implement in cooperation with the Center for Democracy and Human Rights – CEDEM is the project “Active participation of youth in the prevention of violence, hate speech and discrimination”. The overall goal of the project is to support psycho-physical development and preserve the health of young people. Also, the realization of three projects, financially supported by the Employment Agency of Montenegro, begins with the competition for the selection of performers of Public Works. With these projects, we want to achieve greater employability of people belonging to hard-to-reach employment categories, as well as increasing the skills and knowledge of people from hard-to-reach categories.

The celebration was attended by partners and associates of the organization, members and volunteers, and the beginning of another successful year was sweetened with a cake donated by the “Anna’s Sweet Corner” pastry shop. For the musical part of the birthday party, young talented singer Matija Sekulic was in charge.
