📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

“Respect the past & build bridges of the future” is a European Solidarity Corps group volunteering project hosted by Idrija Youth Center in cooperation with Idrija 2020 Association. It will take place between August 16th and September 15th, 2023. Idrija Youth Center has carried out a project called “Make the house alive” - with help of over 30 volunteers we renovated part of our youth center and created a new opportunity for developing our community. Idrija 2020 carried out a project called “Youthful heritage” - with help of over 20 volunteers we stared to renovate an old Giser house with focus on preservation of cultural heritage. In 2023 we are creating a project that will in some way combine this two projects and focus on thinking how we, as individuals, can contribute to community. Giser house can help us understand importance of renovation old houses and preserving them. Renovating bridges in our town and making them nice in a great way to do something good for local community.

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).
