YOUTH CLUB "DISKORS"

Nowadays life offers a lot of temptations and a lot of unknown. The youth is the one that suffers mostly of this problem. We could say that it's theirs own fault, that nobody forces them to use alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, etc. although it is also the responsibility of parents, the state and the society. Legislation does not restrict drug dealers. Statistic shows that young people are those who suffer from drug the most.

Seven young people founded an alcohol and nicotine free youth club "Diskors". The main purpose of the organisation is to offer entertainment as well as other possibilities to spend free time in the clean environment. "Diskors" is going to offer educational events, possibilities to meet famous people (lectures, politicians, and actors) and performances of young musicians. The idea was supported by the local authorities and in the mass media.

To run a club is rather complicated but it is not necessary to mention the value of such a youth club. That is why we want to stress more the initial stage, especially the process of formation which strongly reveals the need for friends and also financial support.
