About us
The association of citizens was founded in 1999 as “Eco Life” in Subotica, Serbia by people who shared the vision that the environment should be protected and that ecological consciousness should be increased not only by raising awareness but by taking actions as well. Many community events (such as cleaning forests, planting trees, collecting garbage) were held throughout the years. In 2004 a bigger group of young people joined the organization, so the activities were expanded with issues related to art, culture and youth. The mission of the whole NGO got a new direction and even the name of the organization was modified to “Youth and Eco Life”. We also cooperate with NGOs based in SEE and EU countries. Our regular activities include organising forest cleaning actions, projects with the aim of raising environmental awareness, innovative recycling art from trash workshops, international youth eco-camps, creative and media workshops, youth leadership training projects, youth violence prevention projects, youth exchanges with various topics such as ecology, arts and culture.
