To support the implementation of a sustainable development model at all levels and a prosperous economy that promotes youth employment and fair wages. To work towards the harmonious coexistence of all ethnic communities and social groups.

Our Mission:

To bring people and communities closer together and encourage them through cross-border cooperation on socially significant issues to contribute to sustainable socio-economic development.

Our strategic goals:

• Promoting conflict prevention through mediation and alternative conflict resolution;
• Educational and social integration of vulnerable communities and groups;
• Promoting youth employment;
• Institutional strengthening of the organization.

The Association operates a Training Center, a Center for Restorative Justice for Children, and a Center for Assessing Potential Opportunities (career center). BTMI is a founder of a Festival for sharing effective social models "A Guide to Goodness".

Our team consists of highly qualified, experienced, and motivated experts. Our activities are supported by the enthusiasm of our wonderful volunteers.
