The mission of the Institute for Youth Development KULT is to develop and advocate legal and other strategic solutions, and to build and strengthen the capacity of associations and authorities in BiH and the region, for a successful and sustainable youth policy.

Its vision is an open society in which qualified citizens are involved in all decision-making processes in public life.

Involvement of citizens in social flows

Guided by the fact that all citizens have equal rights and that we live in a democratically placed society, it is extremely important that they be the subjects of all social events, especially those that concern them. Asking citizens what problems and needs they have, enabling them to participate directly or indirectly in decision-making, giving them the opportunity to get involved in the processes of improving the environment in which they live is the basic idea of ​​an open civil society.

Training for civic action

Citizens need to have the knowledge and skills they need to become responsible actors in social life. Providing them with this knowledge and skills means enabling them not only to be observers of the changes that are taking place, but also to contribute to the development of both personal and social progress, in accordance with their occupations and capabilities. Among other things, it is the role of the non-governmental sector in the concept of civil society to enable citizens to be actively involved.

Young people as drivers of democratization of society

Today, young people are a key part of the population that can and should lead the process of democratization of society in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. They have the best assumptions and reasons to improve their condition. In order for that to be possible, they need affirmative legal solutions, a strategic commitment to politics and society, and the structures and capacities that will be available for their action. In short, the commitment of decision-makers to a successful and sustainable youth policy is important.
