SMART organises training, provides technical assistance and consultations to non formal groups and members of non profit organisations, on the principles of strengthening, self-assistance, active involvement, maintenance of positive initiatives, stimulation of co-operation, mutual evaluation and respect of differences.

Along with our in-house trainers/consultants we engage external trainer/consultant experts on the regular basis. We co-operate with numerous non-profit organisations, national and international non-governmental organisations, local, self-government and media representatives and actively work on inclusion of large number of representatives from those sectors.This co-operation is seen as strength of our organisation and a positive model contributing to the development of civil society in Croatia.
