Mission and Objectives

Using English as the common language we provide an informal environment that encourages an exchange of cross-cultural ideas. Through a combination of social, cultural and educational activities, stereotypes and prejudices can be challenged and closer relationships develop.
In the International Youth Program we began to concentrate on relationships with the Mediterranean countries, as these were the lesser known cultures and peoples. The common impression in the Czech Republic of many Mediterranean countries received through the mass media is overwhelmingly negative, which creates distrust and fear of the unknown. The projects we have initiated aim at building trust and understanding.

Main Projects / Activities

“The Czech Mediterranean” Liberec, January 2006.( Greece, Israel, Malta, Turkey, Palestine and the Czech Republic).The project is to enable young people to learn about life, culture and customs in each others’ countries
“Trakya Kenteler Bulusmasi”, an Exchange concerning the promotion of free time activities among young people, held in Turkey /September 2005.
We are hosting a volunteer from Turkey.
