General Information
Younclusion is an new association which is established by an informal group of young people. The ex-name of the team was COM Youth CLUB and now will organize new projects under the name of Younclusion. Our volunteers and staffs want to realize their passions, pick up new challenges and search for any occasions to prove their skills. Thus, we took an initiative to establish the Younclusion! Younclusion is non-profit, non-governmental organization with aim to improve the situation of young people, women and marginal groups of the society in all areas of social life. This is achieved by promotion of gender equality, democracy, human rights, social development, volunteerism, integration (LGBT, Migrations, Minorities, Disabled People etc.) mostly through art&culture projects.

- Social problems ( migration, integration, fighting against violence community, active participation)
