We developed prevention program for violence and asocial behavior demonstrated in youth population. This program is out-institutionalized and focused on creative projects and active involvement of participants. During last four years of our work, we developed excellent cooperation with various elementary and high schools, kindergartens and other institutions and organizations which work with children and youth. We achieved this by organizing various workshops and out-curriculum schooling project which are complementary with present school programs and similar activities. By constantly developing our projects we provide support to families and schools in education of youth and with different interesting, creative and educational activities we help in keeping children away from bad influences of contemporary street environment.

Candle making workshop:
One of our most recognized workshop is handmade candle making workshop. We use our beneficiaries as workshop leaders and experiment with targeted group of youth such are: gifted and curious children, hyperactive children or children with difficulties in development or conduct. This activity proved to be excellent therapy and productive activity. Especially motivating are unique candles which, during making, children develop creativity, motorical skills, originality and learn how to be concentrated and patience, because children feel that they are useful. Also, this activity support working habits development which are very poorly developed in most of children.
 
With this project we encouraged teachers and other people from similar professions to be actively involved in different project in they own institutions where they work and use this as one of good pedagogical skills.
The goal of this creative workshops are prevention of asocial and aggressive behavior, addiction prevention and developing concentration and patience.
