Through the art of capoeira we promote healthy lifestyles, non-violence and peace building. In our work, we are primarily focused on young people and social groups at risk and with reduced opportunities (children and youth with behavioral disorders, people with disabilities, risk groups of children and youth). In order to make our projects as successful and high quality as possible, we cooperate with many associations, institutions and centers in the country, the region, but also in Europe and the world.
