3. EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELDS OF: REFUGEES & MIGRANTS Being a youth NGO, we believe that it is our responsibility to involve youngsters coming from difficult backgrounds and youth with fewer opportunities into active social life, as well as to address their issues to the society. A huge part of these youth are either migrants or refugees, and their voices deserve to be heard. Our initiative regarding this topic were to write and implement the projects called "Rhythms of Unity" and "Raise Your Voice" in 2017," and "Be the Change" in 2019. In a lot of our art related projects as well we had this topic as one of our main objectives. We used photography and video editing to raise the issues that refugees face all over the world, and helped the society to become more tolerant, be more aware of what obstacles the refugees in their country face and how they can be of help. Since the above mentioned projects were so impactful, we are working on a follow up project which is called "Let's speak". SOCIAL INCLUSION & ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP THROUGH ART There are many ways to raise social awareness and address important things to the society, and arts can be easily one of the most efficient ones. We have an experience of using this great tool with all its forms: dance, music, theater, street art, craft, drawing photography and film- making. In 2016 we hosted the project called "Tram of Art" and the project was so successful that the youngsters involved came up with another project called " Art Bridge to Tolerance" which took place in 2017. Later on we had yet another project called "Art Bride" in 2019, and during all of these we used art forms to raise topics such as hate speech, tolerance, European values, prejudice, stereotypes etc. In 2019 we hosted a project with our Irish partners called " Step Up", during which we gathered youngsters interested in dancing under the same idea: to promote social inclusion and active citizenship through dance. The participants came up with a public event, which helped spread awareness about such projects and encourage local youth to be more active in the social lives of their communitie

4. EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELDS OF: ENTREPRENEURSHIP & YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT In the field of Entrepreneurship and Youth Unemployment our experience and passion is very high. We have noticed that youngsters have the tendency to hide their potential of leadership because of the lack of self-confidence, self?esteem, experience and attention. To guide and help the youth to unlock their true potentials as well as become more eligible for the employment market, we have successfully implemented the projects "Startup Boomergang" in 2018 and "StartUP Battle" in 2020. We have pending training courses like "Job Opportunity Booster", "Your Footprint in Tourism" "Boost Your Startup", which are all concerning this very topic. On a local level as well our organization has been giving opportunities to future entrepreneurs who don't know how and from where to start their business journey, by facilitating a training course called "Marketing Club". SPORTS & HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Sports and Healthy lifestyle has always been quite an important topic for us. Living in a day and age where youth is always quite passive, gives preference to fast and not much quality food, we can see that it highly affects their not only physical but also mental well-being. In order to motivate the youth to make better health choices , live a healthier and more physically more active lifestyle we implemented the "Get Active Get Healthy Get Involved" YE in 2018 and "Healthy YOUth YE in 2019. During the latter, we had a big event called "Sportlandia" which aimed to spread awareness about the benefits of healthy lifestyle and physical activity among local youngsters. This year as well, we touched upon this topic by our project "Healthcare Trends"
