UNTU represents a community of different people with diverse competencies and experiences united by one goal – to raise the amount of free open-minded persons, willing to bring a positive change in the world. The main goal for UNTU is to provide young people and youth workers with the opportunity to get to know themselves through the surrounding reality, for making qualitatively new decisions about their lives and their own life missions.
The main target group are young people aged 18-35 who already are or want to become active, enthusiastic and motivated to learn/improve skills by trying new experiences, exchanging with the practices, training or volunteering, traveling to different countries to communicate with representatives of other international communities. All that for creation of own projects focused on a global peace building and the power of benefits of human cultural diversity and unity with nature. UNTU believes that open-minded people are like branches and roots of the one big tree of life, all connected to each other and in constant process of self-growth for a bigger aim to heal the planet.

Through our activities, we provide young people and youth workers with opportunities to learn and develop themselves personally and professionally, to show their skills to make a positive change in post-pandemic fast changing reality.

UNTU is working actively with youth in such areas as peace building promotion, art/crafting and music creation, volunteering and education for empowerment and sustainability through outdoor education. For UNTU, each new project is an opportunity to manifest, learn from each other, build relationships and create common products in a company of open minded persons for which we are ready to go to the other end of the planet, to find them. Because in such a company, with such people, you can make the most daring dreams and grandiose ideas of how to contribute to this world.
