About the project

ESC: Assistant at Mladi zmaji (Public Institute Young Dragons)

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Javni Zavod Mladi Zmaji (https://mladizmaji.si/en/) is a network of innovative district youth centres (public living rooms) that the city of Ljubljana is using to activate young people and give them a chance to explore their interests and grow. Programmes include opportunities for non-formal and informal learning and everyday socialising, where visitors can gain new knowledge and skills, meet interesting people, broaden their horizons, get motivation and overcome their own limitations. We have 5 youth centres, 1 community center, 1 mobile youth center, a digital youth center and street unit of youth workers. Employed youth workers focus on maintaining a safe, respectful and creative environment. The volunteer will be mainly in one of the youth centres and will also help with bigger projects and events of Mladi zmaji. All the activities are carried out mostly in afternoon and evening hours (between 14.00 and 19.00), occasionally also on the weekends.

Public institute Mladi zmaji was established by Municipality of Ljubljana in 2009 with a mission to provide young people with the conditions, spaces, and programmes necessary for quality creative (self-)realisation.

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).
