Youth centre Kotlovnica offers a variety of opportunities and mentor support including theoretical and practical training as a light or sound technician for events, video and audio production and mentorsip for 3D printing, laser cutting and photography.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: It's no problem if you don't know exactly what to do and you also don’t need to be an expert . There are many different possibilities at the Youth centre Kotlovnica, especially if you are interesed in art, music, video, performances of all sorts ... art and culture in general. You can train in light and sound, audio and video production, prepare graphic material for our events, make videos for and from our events, help with setting up monthly clothing exchanges, collaborate with other organisations (theatre, photography, young people with disabilities ...), organise your own workshops (creative workshops work well) or just participate in our regular activities and socialize with locals. We want you to be ready for work, to enjoy learning new things and also be proactive and open-minded. Please, spend time with us and ask questions. The success of the whole activity also depends a lot on you and your your willingness to be part of our way of working, which is quite varied and flexible. During the week we work in the morning hours between 9:00 and 13:00 (these are our administrative hours when most of us are in the office), and then we come back in the afternoon between 17:00 and 20:00, on Fridays we stay until 23:00. During the season, some events also take place on Saturdays (if this happens, you are free on Monday to ensure two consecutive days off). We don't have an exact application deadline but we would like you to arrive to Kamnik at the second part of July or no later than 3 August 2026 and join us as a volunteer for a period of 11 months. This year's Kamfest will take place between 7 and 15 August 2026, so we want you to arrive at least a few days before the start.

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).

  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
