CIVIL SOCIETY CAPACITY BUILDING
Our association, which carries on capacity building activities for civil society organisations that are active on the field of youth, produces and apply projects, and builds partnerships. It also ascertains deficiencies of the civil society organisations (NGO- Non-governmental organisation) and tries to fill these deficiencies.
TECHNOLOGY BASED DEVELOPMENT
For development, economic capacity should also be increased. This is a problem which can be solved by improving service or products with high added values. We are carrying out activities to develop the society in which the youth lives with high added values technology products/services.
 
HEALTHY LIFE
A healthy society consists of healthy individuals. In order to guarantee the society health in the future, the youth should be provided to have a positive manner and behaviour about a healthy life. For the purpose of contribution, Pi Youth Association carries out projects about this topic, too.
 
TIME FOR VOLUNTEERING
While Pi Youth Association tries to involve more youngsters to civil society works and make volunteering more common escpecially among youngsters, it also carries out several awareness-raising and disemination activities in order to keep the volunteering sustainable. Time for volunteering is about how many hours you take part in voluntary work in a week.
SOCIAL MEDIA ANALYSIS
Recent fast development in technology has led to emerge the concept of social media. Now, social media is so common that it has become a field which exercises influnce over the youth for 24 hours. Hence, it has a big effect on the youngsters. This field, where they can reach anything in an easy and fast way, is a kind of field that each institution working on youth activities should have knowledge about it.
THE YOUTH RIGHTS AND PROBLEMS
Education, access to information, minority youngsters, young women, disabled youngsters, the youth rights, the youth problems, the youth policy being in the first place, particularly for the disadvantaged ones among 15-30 years old, any kind of projects, activities and events are in Pi Youth Association’s line.

Also since 2003., every year we conduct campaign of "Where do you put your garbage" with which we put Međimurje County in the top of the waste managing counties in Croatia. Of the bigger projects that we carried out we would like to highlight a project called "Civil Dialogue for Better Environment" which was started in 2013 and funded by the EU. The goal of the project was to build the capacity of environmental NGOs to monitor and enforce Aarhus Convention in Croatia, with an emphasis on access to justice, strengthening cooperation between public authorities at national and local levels, and academic institutions with environmental NGOs. Along with projects of bigger scope which are carried out on a Croatian terittory, we also organize non-stop workshops on the protection of the environment and nature for all ages, organizing public actions and work for a better community. For its work, ZEON was rewarded with some notable rewards in Croatia.

• Refugee ed project: Effective methods in education, mental health and psychosocial support for the integration of refugee children.

• Youth Center: A meeting place for children and young people for meaningful activity, learning and better everyday life.

• NEETs for NEETs: 

Support Group Network participates in the Erasmus+ project NEETs for NEETs - Improving inclusive methods to empowering young adults together with partners in Norway, Sweden, Germany and Belgium.

The project aims to prevent exclusion in order to get the target group into work or further education, in addition to increasing the teachers' competence. The project focuses on including NEETs and empowering them. The ReACT model has a central role in the project. The model was developed by refugees at Sweden's largest asylum reception, Restad Gård, in 2014. When the waiting time at the asylum reception was over a year, the refugees themselves took the initiative to share their knowledge and skills with other refugees so that they could create meaning in the long waiting time and build something for the future.

• Next step Sweden:

The purpose of the project is to increase the self-sufficiency of the target group of asylum seekers and to improve the mental state. This means that the project must work with health-promoting activities as well as guide and supervise the target group, improve the conditions for employment/practice or that entrepreneurs are given the conditions to start and run sustainable businesses.

Support Group Network's relationship with asylum seekers and new arrivals together with the developed cooperation model provides unique conditions for asylum seekers, new arrivals and foreign-born to achieve increased self-sufficiency.

Temporary exhibitions: You can see the highlights of the museum collections all year round in our permanent departments. We also organize temporary exhibitions that are related to our permanent collection. These usually involve a combination of objects from our collection and loans from other organizations, varying from specialized Dutch museums and collections to world-renowned institutions. Egyptian collection: The RMO has one of the world’s top ten Egyptian collections. The absolute highlight is a complete 2,000-year-old Egyptian temple from the village of Taffeh. This temple was a gift from Egypt to the Dutch people, in gratitude for the country’s role in a UNESCO rescue operation in the 1960s. In the entrance hall you can view this impressive monument from all sides. Activities for everyone: The museum organizes year-round activities for the general public and for people of all ages. These range from an extensive programme of lectures to children’s activities during school holidays and a variety of concerts. Education: Every year, many groups and classes from primary and secondary schools visit the museum. We develop new museum lesson plans for them each year, along with teaching materials for classroom use. In 2014, more than 24,000 schoolchildren visited the museum. Scholarship: The curators at the RMO are actively involved in scientific research at both the national and the international level. A few examples: •Three of our staff members hold endowed professorships at Leiden University. •Two of our curators lead archaeological digs in Egypt and Jordan. •Our curators, conservators, and other staff members regularly publish scholarly articles and books about topics in their fields of expertise. History of the museum: The RMO was founded in 1818, originally as Leiden University's 'archaeological cabinet'. Its first director was Caspar Reuvens, a pioneer in the field of archaeology. In the nineteenth century, many objects from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt were added to the collection. Until the Second World War, the museum was the only official Dutch institution to conduct archaeological excavations. On 1 July 1995, the museum became an independent non-profit organization that manages the archaeological part of the Dutch national collection. Its mission is to make these objects accessible to a large public. The museum today: The current director of the RMO is Wim Weijland. The museum has about 70 staff members (the majority working on a part time basis), who work with a large number of trainees and volunteers. A variety of freelancers and independent businesses also work with the museum.
