General Information

INFORMO is a civil society non-profit organization particularly focusing on education. The main activities are addressed to impact territorial, business, professional and personal development. Informo is managed by its President, Vice President, Management Board and General assembly. The work is distributed between 5 staff members: project developer, two project managers, one project assistant and a financial manager. Our budget in the past years has been approximately 150.000,00 EUR per year. Our funding sources are European Comission (EASME, Erasmus +), National Foundation for Civil Society Development and other bodies of local and national governance (City of Vodnjan, Region of Istria, etc.). Our projects focus on developing skills and knowledge of young people and other vulnerable groups: volunteers, NEET youngsters, students, entrepreneurs, young mothers, people with disabilities, etc. through different educations, placements, internships, scholarships, etc. Our partners are Universities, NGOs, think-tanks, business associations , local action groups from different EU countries.

Mission and Objectives

INFORMO is a civil society non-profit organization particularly focusing on education. The main activities are addressed to impact territorial, business, professional and personal development. Since its establishment, in 2004, Informo gained a valuable experience in organizing and performing trainings and workshops, as well as in contributing to the development and internationalization of local, regional and national projects, through the participation in European and international partnerships.
Informo’s challenge is to produce an effective contribution to the social development through educational programs that produce visible changes. The association is promoting European values and citizenship by encouraging people to undertake a pro-active role in the society, promoting the values of solidarity and tolerance.
Applying innovative learning and working methodologies we are helping people and organizations to do what they love and love what they do. Finding feasible practical solutions to the emerging needs, our team is daily adapting to different issues and learning from own experiences as well as from the top players and best practices. The engagement of young enthusiasts, volunteers, members and supporters is multiplying the effect of the knowledge transfer activities, while the results of the projects developed to satisfy needs, combined to the innovation emerging from spontaneous but realistic desires, are improving the quality of life of our stakeholders.
Informo has 16 years of experience implementing the Professional Improvement Program as the Croatian National Contact Point of the European Projects Association. Informo also acts as one of 3 Local contact points in Croatia for the Programme Erasmus for Young entrepreneurs, active in 4 cycles of the programme. The Association was as well a pioneer in Croatia as Receiving, Sending and Coordinating Organization of the European Voluntary Service. During 14 years of our work, more than 100 foreign young enthusiasts spent periods, from 2 months to up to 2 years, at the Association’s headquarters in the Business Incubator of the City of Vodnjan - Dignano. Following the work of top national and European experts, this multidisciplinary team composed by heterogeneous individuals, developed several projects. Learning from various examples, deepening theory and turning it into practice helped to create and maintain a reputation based on the quality of the approach and solidity of results. The participation in bilateral and multilateral partnerships brought us a chance to exploit local achievements at global level. At national level, Informo's projects were funded by the cities of Buje-Buie and Vodnjan-Dignano, the Region of Istria, the Croatian Ministries of Science and Education, Social Policies and Youth, Tourism, as well as the National Foundation for the Development of the Civil Society. At international level the projects were supported by the World Bank and the European Commission through different programs as the Instrument for Pre-Accession Cross Border Cooperation programs, Interreg IV, Interreg V-B Adrion, Intelligent Energy Europe, Europe for Citizens, COSME and Erasmus+. Through different projects, a variety of educational and training programs for adults and youth are implemented, involving local, regional, national, European and international stakeholders active in different fields. Particularly addressing to marginalized groups as unemployed youth and mothers, cultural and linguistic minorities, disabled people, elders, as well as social workers from public and private sectors, Informo is boosting the social economy and generating development. The different projects are tightly linked in order to provide sustainability and continuity of the initiative.
