📍 About the location
The organization is located in the capital of Russia - Moscow (population above 11 millions).
AYA office is just 20 minutes by underground from the city center. The office is in several
minutes of walking from the underground station Dmitrovskaya. Our organization is located in
the area called Flacon Design Factory. It is a former industrial complex, gradually filling with
design studios, promoters, showrooms and workshops. It is not the busy city centre. It is more like a new calm European district of Moscow. We rent an office space for 2 days per week in Flacon Eco-centre (http://centrecon.ru), plus we have an event area where we organise weekly meetings for volunteers.
