Newly-founded Youth Culture Center (YCC) and Youth Hostel (YH) will become a center of social life in town, a meeting place for young dynamic people and a platform for innovation and creativity. New infrastructure and activities will create the added value for YCC, YH and the local community, by contributing to the development of tourism, raising the general cultural level and facilitating the professional development of young artists, involving members of local community (not only young people) into various activities, reducing unemployment, establishing the Youth Center as an international educational center of South-Eastern Europe. All this will help to achieve a better visibility of the town Brežice and a more effective use of its cultural and natural resources. International culture center provides a wide variety of new international cultural programs, non-formal education programs, informational and infrastructural support and accommodation. The expansion of the Youth Center’s activities and development of new long-term programs involving young people from outside Posavje region called for budget accommodation for program participants. As a response, the Youth Hostel was created, combining affordable price, convenient location, modern facilities and a wide choice of outdoor activities in the heart of Posavje. The guests of the Youth Hostel are welcome to use modern infrastructure and facilities, as well as enjoy a wide variety of tourist attractions in the area.
