NGO Novi Horizon (New Horizon)
was founded in 1999. Some of the goals and objectives of this organization are: to increase the participation of children and young people in the social life of the community, to help the improvement of the situation of minorities and marginalized groups, to encourage active citizenship and volunteering at the local level and beyond, to contribute to continuous improvement of interethnic dialogue in Ulcinj and beyond, to develop cross-border dialogue and cooperation, and to promote European and Euro-Atlantic Integration.
Over the past years New Horizon ran various projects regarding youth and some of them are: “MY CHOICE IS HEALTH, NOT DRUGS” (which dealt with the promotion of healthy way of life and aimed on decreasing the number of young people who consume drugs and alcohol, and smoke); “YOUTH IN INTEGRATION” (increasing awareness on the Euro-Atlantic integrations and providing opportunities to young people in Ulcinj to gain new knowledge and to know the value of the upcoming integration process); ”EU means YES” (providing information and education campaigns about the EU – the importance of access).
All the projects realized regarding youth were a great contribution to the identity building process of young people and the development of democracy and tolerance among them, through education and integration programs.
