Development Youth & Sports Association is a non-profit and non-governmental organization, which unites people of different age, social class, nation and interest but with same goal: make the world of 21st century a bit more better and friendlier to its inhabitants. The main activities are: youth works, education, democracy, human rights, ecology, refugees, unemployment, sports and culture. Youngsters believe that these aspects are not only closely connected with the majority of youth problems, but also provide a wide space for growth, innovational thinking and creativity, which can be accumulated firstly by youngsters. Members of DYSA evaluate not only organizing projects and events, but also participating in local youth, student and school councils, because democracy begins not with election but from participation and responsibility. Youngsters create a better world not just in the name of faceless "everybody", but in the name of their friends and beloved, in the name of the future generation, in the name of their children.
Our main activities are based on intercultural learning, by using a non-formal education and youth program actions in order to encourage the youth participation in the international context, so abolishing the barriers between countries, reducing the racism and promoting the tolerance between different cultures.
