From its inception, the Institute has remained dedicated to dealing with marginalized social and political themes that are usually neglected in the activities of other institutions.
In the more recent period, these included the problems te?ated to the “erased” (inhabitants not given residence), the position of the Roma, the visibility of ethnic and other minorities in the media, the position of new unrecognized minorities, intimate citizenship, contradictions within cultural policy, the relationship between the EU and the USA, the constitutional process in the EU, EU enlargement (the Balkan states, Turkey, Ukraine), the accomplishment of the Hague Tribunal (ICTY), and other.

The central aim is implementation of group and pair activities, which are organized by a diverse (in age and occupation) community of highly motivated volunteers with the aim to support children and adolescents. There is considerable diversity among the children and adolescents as well. Our approach is to promote and explore this diversity, in order for the group and its members to subsist and grow. In the context of everyday activities and living together, often in natural habitat, we are exploring alternative ways of understanding individual mental and interpersonal patterns, as well as group dynamics. As the adults let their own vulnerability and fallibility show, a community is created in which the young are not instructed, but rather respected and led to see the growth of people of all ages and walks of life. Regular training activities aim to support the volunteers in their work and personal experience.
The group activities mainly take the form of camps, workshops, seminars and project groups. A major project is a sociotherapeutic (summer and winter) camp for children and adolescents with psychosocial problems. Membership in groups is assisted by regular individual support of a child or adolescent, as well as the volunteer. Mentorship, several study groups and team work promote and guarantee continuous orientation to research and learning about the practices which are being explored and developed.
