A.T.I.C., despite of the fact it's a young organzation, has an experienced staff that worked for 5 years in local NGO's, in different positions, with different tasks.
Our association can be an added value for the network in our country, sharing from our experience and good practices and also developing projects that can be very useful in the topic of inclusion of disadvantaged youth through arts and sport..
We keep good collaboration with our international partners and we are open for new contacts.
We pay special attention involving youngsters with less opportunities and newcomers into international projects.
As we mentioned above, we think that beside Erasmus+ program, Anna Lindth Foundation can help our organization grow and with the founds and help given, we can develop and implement more projects useful in our comunity.
