Numerous civil society organizations operate in the Youth Centre today, using the Centre’s premises regularly or occasionally. MKC continuously cooperates with the Youth Centre Platform, an advocacy platform that has been operating in the Centre since 2012, on the improvement of the existing model of cooperation and management of the Youth Centre.

MKC, as the manager of the building, in addition to performing tasks related to the functioning and maintenance of the building of the Centre and technical support for program activities and security of the building, provides support to permanent and occasional users by realizing program collaborations, as well as providing space for the production and presentation of activities. Thus, the spaces Class, Triangle, Concrete Cinema, Amphitheatre, and Gallery are fully shared spaces available for reservation for programs that are in line with the program profile of the Youth Centre. All information related to a particular space are available on the link. MKC also, on an annual level, announces public tenders for the art-exhibition program.

In the last five years, over 120 different users have used the premises of the Youth Centre for the implementation of programs, including representatives of the independent and institutional cultural and artistic scene from Split and Croatia, as well as individual users (artists, journalists, musicians), of which 18 permanent users work and have premises in the building.

The idea of encouraging program collaborations is contained in the desire that spatial resources, as well as knowledge and skills, are mutually used and shared for the purpose of program diversification, but also to improve the working conditions of the users of the Centre’s space and to ensure the conditions and opportunities for the work and development of numerous cultural and artistic actors at the local and regional level.

Although in the role of the manager of the building, the Multimedia Cultural Centre is primarily itself a user of the Centre’s space and an active actor on the cultural and artistic local and national scene, and as such, although formally an institution, is close to the organizations operating in the Centre, which also deal with contemporary art production, presentation, and discursive programs. Developing a model of participatory management of the Youth Centre is a necessary step in order for the space to become even more open to new users and more democratic in decision-making and as such fulfills its mission and vision of a socio-cultural centre as a place responsible for the management and use of public resources.
