We are dedicated to particular topics that encourage active participation of young people and encourage them to play an active role in communities and helping realize important role of young people in shaping the present and the future of Europe. Euro- Atlantic Center supports active participation of young people and allows them to explore different social and cultural elements.

Members of EAC are interested in travelling and meeting peers from different countries who have different social and cultural background and we are keen of learning about foreign traditions. It´s the main reason why we support active participation and we try to make young leaders more European citizens and more tolerant to people from different cultures.
