🏢 About the local organisation

Varstveno delovni center Tončke Hočevar je socialno varstveni zavod za odrasle osebe z motnjo v telesnem in duševnem razvoju. Odraslim osebam z motnjo v duševnem in telesnem razvoju omogočamo kvalitetno življenje, s tem da izvajamo v storitev vodenje, varstvo ter zaposlitev pod posebnimi pogoji in institucionalno varstvo. Storitev vodenje, varstvo ter zaposlitev pod posebnimi pogoji jim omogoča, da so delovno aktivni in na ta način vzdržujejo in razvijajo svoje sposobnosti. Vsakemu posamezniku želimo omogočiti, da se lahko vključi v zaposlitev, ki je v skladu z njegovimi željami in sposobnostmi. Zraven zaposlitve pa storitev posamezniku omogoča tudi socialno vključenost in podporo strokovnih delavcev pri načrtovanju ciljev in reševanju težav. Institucionalno varstvo je namenjeno posameznikom, ki si želijo bolj samostojnega življenja izven njihovega doma ter tistim, ki so ostali brez družine, ne zmorejo pa živet sami. Uporabnike spodbujamo in učimo, da so v okviru svojih sposobnosti čimbolj samostojni (skrb zase, vključevanje v lokalno skupnost, skrb za dom in prehrano...).

💼 What the programme involves

Care and working center Tončka Hočevar is a social welfare institution for adults with intellectual disabilities. We have two main programs. First is providing suitable work for adult with intellectual disabilities. We have different workshops, where they do different sort of employment. This allows them to maintain their skills, learn new one and are involved in the local environment. We also have residential homes, were they can live independently as possible. Employees provide them with support only where they need it. Beside the workshops and living we organize numerous other activities: we take trips, attend events, celebrate birthdays... We are also active in the field of sports, attending competitions under the organisation of the Special Olympics. Volunteers will play important role in working in workshops and organizing leisure activities by creating new activities that will have the purpose of promoting a healthy life and maintaining skills.

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).
