The “Start” Association is a non-governmental organization for public benefit, whose mission is to work for a better life for everyone in society. Although it sounds utopian, we believe that with small targeted steps, significant and long-lasting results can be achieved. The association aims to contribute to the construction of a physically and mentally healthy society, whose representatives have the ability to express and defend opinions and implement ideas and to work together for the public good.

We strive to create, multiply and implement good practices in terms of policies for youth, adolescents and adults, to provoke interest in cultural, social, sports activities and an active lifestyle among all groups of the population. We aim to develop programs through which to train and educate on important topics for modern society. With the projects of the “Start” Association, we strive to leave traces that especially young people can take on.

All of us in the association are united by one idea – assistance and creation of conditions for the development of future generations.

Until the establishment of the “Start” association, our team existed and worked as an informal group that participated in the organization and conduct of a number of events such as youth and sports forums with a focus on the development of sports skills, personal development and upbringing of universally valid life values, educational events and forums for sustainable development.
