📍 About the location
Škofja Loka, Slovenia, is a historic town dating back to the 12th century, nestled in the foothills of the Julian Alps, approximately 25 kilometers northwest of the capital, Ljubljana. It is renowned for its well-preserved medieval center, cobblestone streets, and colorful houses. Over the centuries, the town has witnessed significant historical events, reflecting its rich cultural heritage and strategic importance. Today, Škofja Loka is home to a vibrant associative sector, comprising various cultural, educational, and social organizations. These associations play a vital role in preserving local heritage, organizing cultural events, and promoting community well-being. As a picturesque town in the heart of the Slovenian mountains, Škofja Loka offers a unique setting where history, geography, and the associative sector come together to create a vibrant and dynamic community.
🎒 Leisure activities
In Škofja Loka, volunteers can explore the rich historical heritage of the city by strolling through its medieval streets, visiting Loka Castle, and discovering its numerous museums. They can also enjoy the surrounding nature by hiking in the beautiful Julian Alps or walking along the rivers and picturesque trails. Outdoor enthusiasts can indulge in activities like cycling, kayaking, or climbing in the vicinity. For those who prefer cultural experiences, the city offers artistic events, traditional festivals, and concerts throughout the year. Lastly, volunteers can savor the local cuisine in the city's charming restaurants and cafes, where they can taste traditional Slovenian dishes and regional specialties.

ℹ️ Additional information
The volunteers will be entitled to receive a monthly allowance of 150 €. To each of the volunteers, the bike will be provided and tickets for public transportation (if needed).
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).
