Focus on Youth started in Vâlcea with a pretty simple idea: young people here have a lot to say, and not always a place to say it. So we built one. We organise workshops, cultural events, exchanges and creative projects — and we run them with the people they're meant for, not just at them.
Some of our projects are tiny — a Saturday workshop in a local school. Others are bigger — international Erasmus+ exchanges that send young people from Vâlcea across Europe. What ties it all together is the same belief: give a young person the right tools and the right space, and you'll be surprised what happens next.
Media literacy, soft skills, languages — the things school doesn't always have time for.
International mobility opportunities for young people from Vâlcea — and the friendships that come with them.
Photography, video, podcasting. We document our community because no one else will.
Hands-on community projects with local schools, NGOs and public institutions.
Three of us got this off the ground — but it only really works because of everyone who's joined since.
