📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our aim is to promote sustainable development of society, and to foster cultural and environmental education through youth and adult life long learning and active participation in social processes. Our main tools to achieve this is volunteering and non-formal education Radi Vidi Pats started as an association that works with topics related environmental education for youngsters but slowly and very naturally we have grown into the social sphere as well. Sustainability, alternative and DIY life style is still our fundamentals, and bicycle for many years has been our main tool in communication with the society, especially youngsters. A few years ago we started consciously working with NEET youngsters as socially disadvantaged youngsters have always been attracted to RVP activities. Nevertheless, environmental topics will always be important for the organisation. Five years ago RVP opened a bicycle kitchen – self-service bicycle workshop that also serves as a freak bike creating basis. Another regular activity is up-cycling workshops that RVP facilitates in different parts of the region. For RVP waste is seen as material and sharing this view is an important part of thier work throughout the existence of this NGO. In the Summer of 2017 we moved to a new building that is more opened to different type of activities such as community discussions and learning sessions.
