📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Mikádo - leisure centre, is a non- profit organisation that focuses on leisure activities, extracurricular education and non-formal education for children, youth and adults. We are mainly engaged in leisure of all ages. We organize events for the public, the local community, adjacent locations and participate in city events such as Earth day, Sports day, fairs, family festivals, workshops and other events. Together with these, we run an open club for school kids aged 10 - 15 in the main building of Mikádo, a maternity centre for kids from 0 - 6 years and their parents and a children´s group for preschool kids from aged 1,5 - 5 years.
Every year we offer about 50 regular activities for school children from 6 - 15 years. Focused on sports, dance, computer science, creativity and creation. These activities always take place once or twice a week, always from October to May and start from 2 pm till 7 pm. Around 10 activities for adults from 18 – 99 years as sport and creation and around 10 activities for preschool kids 2 - 6 years or kids and parents. All these are regular so the kids or adults come at least once a week to our organisation. Every year we have around 800 kids involved in our regular activities. In each activity there are 10 to 25 kids. Every month we create some workshops for the local people as pottery class, creative class, exercises class etc.. We also offer activities for school holidays, such as half-year holidays, spring holidays and more. This program always runs from 8 am to 4 pm. Our organisation offers around 10 summer camps where children come every morning at 8 am and leave at 4 pm which are in our organisation or around the town. Two residential camps where children spend 2 weeks outside the town in the nature and one summer camp for parents with children, which takes place in places like Croatia or Italy. Our organisation has a long tradition and experience with non-formal education since 1986.
