P2019.00 Programs general information

2019 will be filled with new and more structured activities in Trotoara and TRAP. While working on the reconstruction works of the TRAP halls (music rehearsal room, sound recording studio, dance and arts hall and recycling workshop) we will focus the youth power and energy in building our community, learn new skills, have fun and attract more and more partners.

Our focus will be in creating and developing – content, initiatives, events, connections.

Focusing on creativity and personal empowerment, our pedagogical approach will help raise a new generation with the ambition to set challenging goals in life. It will raise individuals who work to better the society and are willing to share their knowledge with others. By helping children obtain new abilities and knowledge, complementary to what is taught at school, we foster self-esteem and a belief in one’s own abilities. For a teenager, having a favourite creative activity means less time spent doing bad things such as drugs, alcohol and aggression. This resides the risk of depression and substance abuse and helps create individuals who live life, following their own values. The above are just some of the benefits of the amazing L3 method, pioneered in Sweden, which helps children discover and value their unique selves.
