🏢 About the local organisation

Mission and Values?
The mission of Voluntariat is to promote the ideas of peace, social justice, sustainable development, international cooperation, and solidarity through voluntary work and voluntary projects.
We believe that international voluntary work is useful for the personal development of the individual, for the promotion of social justice, intercultural learning and education for peace and tolerance.
Our vision is a world of peace, social justice and sustainable development, where people live together with mutual respect without encouraging any form of violence and with the aim of resolving conflicts.

What do we do?
We offer comprehensive support to volunteers : from short-term forms of volunteer work (international volunteer camps, youth exchanges and seminars) to long-term (European Voluntary Service, long-term volunteer work within SCI programs and the GLEN program).
We also pay special attention to socially disadvantaged groups of volunteers , especially young people with special needs, within the framework of the Sheltered placement and Youth and Unemployment Working Group - YUWG programs.
We organize volunteer work projects together with local organizations in the field of natural and cultural heritage protection, peacekeeping, assistance to underprivileged social groups, etc.
We organize education and training for volunteers and their mentors with the aim of spreading the idea of volunteer work.
We support individuals and groups in volunteer work in local communities.
We monitor and evaluate the projects we support, both in a local and wider context, and take care of publishing the results.
We inform about the possibilities of volunteer work in Slovenia and around the world.
Finally, we are involved in international actions that promote the cooperation of people of different nationalities, cultures and political views in the belief that understanding between different national groups can lead to coexistence and peaceful resolution of conflicts between nations.

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).
