The Dom Mladih Split, literally Home of Youth Split, is a 10,400 m², of which only 4,700 m² landscaped, never completed and for a long period unused building, built in the late socialist era as a socio-cultural centre for youth in the city of Split, Croatia. Initially squatted, then activated by a youth movement and independent cultural sector civic organisations, it was finally taken over by the local government – becoming a best practice of collaborative approach in co-development and co-management of public spaces within the ongoing process of regeneration.

The aim is to see the Centre as a meeting place for different fields of activity, interests, perceptions and thoughts, support the work of young artists and cultural operators and the development of a cultural infrastructure, improve working conditions of cultural institutions and non-profit organisations, in order to evaluate and promote cultural creativity, with particular attention to contemporary forms, as well as encouraging lifelong education and social inclusion.
