Diversity at hand

The project is based on the activities of the Salesian youth center, which deals with children and youth. Youth Center is located on the outskirts of Ljubljana, where most of the project will take place. Program is meant for children and youngsters between ages between 7 and 29, who spend most of their free time involved in various programs in our organization.
