Vision of NUM is "Educated young people who actively, responsibly and equally participate in the socio-political life of local community” while the mission of NUM is to promote active and responsible participation of youth in the life of local communities, and advocate the interests of young people in local authorities.
The association encourages the development of local youth policies through the development and implementation of local policies for young people and strengthening the capacities of young people through education, collaboration, partnerships and information.
Our references in policy making can be easily used in implementation and in fulfilling the objectives of ALF as well as our capabilities to help the other members of ALF in solving some specific problems or just joining mutual projects. Since we are youth organization, we are assure that we can also help in developing this potential and activities of ALF.
Since Croatia is part of Euro-Mediterranean Region, our organizations tends to develop partnerships with similar organizations from this region in order to give and gain experience, know-how methods and mutual projects for years to be. Our activities didn't include a lot of organizations from this region, and since the objectives of our organization are somewhat similar to those of ALF, we think that ALF is the right and best platform to work on this objectives.
