Our aim is to foster an environment where everyone, including those with mental disabilities, can coexist in harmony, celebrating diversity and practicing living together with respect and understanding.

Our Team

Non-formal education

We are committed to non-formal education and experiential learning. These are the cornerstones of our activities, allowing youth, especially those with mental disabilities, to learn and grow in a safe environment. Our approach is 'learning by doing' and encourages learning from each other, fostering personal growth and development.

Activities with&for youth

Our activities are crafted not only for young people but with them, making them integral parts of our organization. We ensure that our programs are accessible to young people with mental disabilities, basing our activities on peer-to-peer learning and actively involving young people in every stage of the process, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.
