About us
Youth Included is a non-profit organization, managed by a team of academics, youth workers, and experts in the field of youth work, intercultural cooperation, and diversity promotion.
Among the main aims of “Youth Included” is a contribution to the positive social changes in the society by promoting intercultural dialogue, facilitating understanding among people, and the establishment of harmonic co-existence.
Our organization is working with young people as we do believe that the youth is the key to the building of the future generations, therefore we have to put all the efforts to give them the tools for education, raise their awareness in regards to the dangers of xenophobia and discrimination, show them the diversity of the World and point out the positive effects of intercultural interactions.

Natalia Szelachowska - project manager within YI team, developer of UC project
I have experience in running projects with local communities. I like to work in a multicultural environment and learn from others. By education, I'm a nutritionist and a cultural animator... which also happen to be my great passion - I'm a huge foodie and I can't resist my observation sense snd thinking about how to make the world a more interesting place.
Working with people is my engine and source of inspiration. For my projects, I reach out to use various. techniques and methods: photography, ethnographic research, performance, design thinking, storytelling, creative writing, digital tools, etc. Water is my element so I like when the project flows.

(By education interpreter) I'm a tour leader and swimming teacher, I love working with people in a multicultural environment. I made of my passions my job and work now on the promotion of the historical, artistic, natural & gastronomic heritage of Abruzzo starting from the products of the earth, that most feature this area of Italy. I consider languages and food as bridges for understanding new cultures. I always try to find a healthy connection with work and lifestyle, giving time to listening to music, reading, creating with food and with natural materials. Owner of Tesori d'Abruzzo sro.
Andreea Stefanescu - content creator and communicator.
I am an entrepreneurial mind and financial management expert passionate about community development, waste management, and social responsibility. Traveling and getting to experience local life and interact with the local communities represent a great inspiration for me. I like to learn about the particularities of the area they live in, such as crafts, customs, food, and how their establishment came to existence.
At Urban Creatives I enjoy connecting people, bringing ideas, and implementing projects. My first project consists of a map of sustainable shopping options for foreigners in the Czech Republic.
So here I am, transitioning to a sustainable life myself and creating ways to make it fun and accessible for you to do the same. I believe that people are amazing and that together we can do great things :-)
