IDEA is a modern space for community youth to socialize, grow, be creative, relax, and find self-fulfillment.
IDEA is a space of opportunity for young people, where ideas are born, projects are brought to life, talents are nurtured, and an active community is formed. Here, everyone can learn, create, socialize, relax, and influence the development of their community.
IDEA’s mission is to create opportunities for young people’s development, learning, creativity, and self-fulfillment; to support youth initiatives; to foster active citizenship; and to promote young people’s participation in community development.
Principles of the IDEA Youth Initiatives Space:
• Openness and accessibility
• Respect and trust
• Equality and inclusivity
• A safe environment
• Youth participation and initiative
• Mutual support and partnership
• Teamwork
• Development and self-actualization
• Responsibility and active citizenship

A youth center is more than just a youth center. It’s a place where young people learn, create, socialize, relax, and bring their own ideas to life. We’re open to new partnerships, projects, and initiatives that promote the development of young people and the community.
