🏢 About the local organisation

Our ngo was founded in 2014 and arose from the needs of the community to educate children and youth about the nature, the environment, people and the world.
NGO Na Slunci is focused on education of children, youth and adults
The main aims are:
a) supporting healthy physical and mental development, motivating a healthy lifestyle, strengthening the relationship with nature, its protection and sustainable development
b) positively contributing to the enrichment of public space in cities and towns
c) organizing cultural, sports and recreational events
d) creating harmony in interpersonal relationships, promoting friendship, respect for differences and a sense of belonging between parents, children and the wider public across generations
e) cooperation with non-profit organizations, municipal, city and state authorities dealing with the same topic

💼 What the programme involves

We are a community-based organisation located in a beautiful rural area in the eastern Czech Republic. For over 12 years, we have worked with children and youth using experiential and intuitive pedagogy. We run Community Center, Forest Kindergarten and Forest Club for children aged 3–6, afternoon leisure club for children 7-12, TeenAge Club and summer camps. We are focused on outdoor learning through play, nature and creativity. Our community centre hosts workshops, music and theatre events, dance, yoga and exhibitions. We are just building new community Fairy garden. Our activities include outdoor learning, art, games, storytelling, role play, music, and sports. We offer a unique environment with a creative indoor space, swimming pool, large sports field, and a natural park nearby. More info: https://www.lsjelinek.cz/

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
