Belgrade Youth Center, or Dom omladine Beograda (DOB), is a cultural center in Belgrade, Serbia, dedicated primarily to youth.[1]

Overview

DOB organizes numerous programs in the area of modern art and culture, as well as educational-debate programs: around a thousand different programs per year, visited by over 180,000 youths.[citation needed] It aims to encompass all art forms: prose, poetry, music, theatre, film, visual arts, new media and others.[citation needed]

The Center was founded in 1964[1] under the auspices of the Secretariate of Culture of the Assembly of the City of Belgrade.[citation needed] The Assembly provides the main funds for the center.
