Youth Included is migrant youth non-profit organization based in Prague, led by a team of academics and experts in youth and community work. Youth Included was founded in 2012 with the aim of creating an open space for creative, sincere and active young people who want to conduct nonviolent change in their neighborhoods and society.

We strive to promote and educate young people by giving them the opportunity to develop and organize projects of their dreams, giving them the opportunity to experience volunteer experience and get to know other cultures. We believe that it is possible to change the world around us through small steps of self-esteem, self-development and free expression of personal opinion. Our organization works with young people (16 to 35 years), since we believe that youth is key to building future generations. We therefore make every effort to provide them with tools for education, raising awareness about the dangers of xenophobia and discrimination and to show them the diversity of the world to which they have a positive impact of intercultural co-existence.
