🏢 About the local organisation

Udruga Kuća Nade posvećena je razvoju i provedbi društveno-socijalnih programa koji odgovaraju na specifične potrebe naše lokalne zajednice i društva općenito. Ciljevi: Fokusirani smo na jačanje zajednice kroz poticanje aktivnog građanstva i volonterizma, s posebnim naglaskom na podršku ranjivim skupinama poput starijih osoba i mladih. Naše inicijative uključuju neformalno obrazovanje, multikulturalizam i podršku različitim ranjivim društvenim skupinama, uključujući azilante, izbjeglice i pripadnike manjinskih skupina, čime doprinosimo pozitivnim društvenim promjenama, jačanju demokracije i zaštiti ljudskih prava, razvoju društvenog poduzetništva, promociji sporta. Načela i vrijednosti koje u svom radu nastojimo držati i promicati su: jednostavnost, uvažavanje, poštovanje, uključivost, odgovornost, dosljednost, samoodrživost, transparentnost, volontiranje, timski rad, stručnost, cjeloživotno učenje, multikulturalnost i cjelovitost. Do sad smo organizirali nekoliko akcija i programa kao direktni odgovor na globalnu društveno-ekonomsku krizu te na potrebe lokalne zajednice: Pomoć Ukrajini,Engleski kamp - All good, Kamp u pokretu, Tečaj korejskog jezika i njemačkog jezika, SUNCE, SREBRNA GENERACIJA i NOVI SUSJEDI. Ciljne skupine uključuju mlade različitih pozadina i socio-ekonomskih statusa, ranjive skupine poput nezaposlenih, tražitelja azila, izbjeglica i manjinskih zajednica, starije osobe s fokusom na zdravstvene i socijalne izazove, poduzetnike u društvenom poduzetništvu

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).
