About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

In the past, Idrija Youth Center successfully organized three group volunteering projects named Make House Alive. These projects involved renovating our Youth Center into a hostel for youth travelers. Now, we are eager to breathe new youthful life into our center with a group volunteering project, specifically focusing on our terrace. With your support, we aim to transform the terrace into a versatile area suitable for concerts, workshops, and a cozy hangout spot for the youth of Idrija. This project serves as an opportunity for you to get familiar with the current needs and desires of today's youth and brainstorm ways to tailor the space to their preferences under the guidance of an expert interior designer. You will be able to learn about the basic principles of space design and unleash your creativity by designing the perfect space for Idrija youth from recycled materials we will gather from the local collection center.

🎒 Leisure activities

The program has 4 parts: EXPLORING In the first part, the group will get to know each other and the needs of Idrija youth as well as get to know the basic theory of designing a space for youth. PLANING We will start to plan the space under the guidance of a mentor experienced in design. CREATING We will start creating the pieces we planned from scrapped material. OPENING Once the space is prepared, we'll host a local event to exhibit the project's accomplishments and the skills we acquired. Additionally, we'll gather feedback and ideas from Idrija youth for future events on the terrace.

⚠️ Requirements

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).
