The main idea followed within the project Active Under Pressure is that a healthy community is made up of healthy and proactive individuals. And what better start towards a more healthy community than at the youth level.Thorugh this project we want to promote and help create young people who will be able to notice, understand, and respect community life. Analyse it, and act within it to better it. To accomplish that, young people must be made aware of themselves, be able to increase their emotional and mental capacities, while at the same time loosening their constraints.Youth in Petrinja do not have an easy life, marked by a post-war era, branded by vandalism and deviant behaviour, a mark of a greater and real community picture.So, to inspire youth to be active in life and community life they are offered opportunities to engage and interact. By introducing new, foreign, young people, through this EVS, who are active citizens and have volunteering experience, is just what youth in Petrinja need - a positive example they can follow.
