📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Varstveno delovni center Tončke Hočevar je socialno varstveni zavod za odrasle osebe z motnjo v telesnem in duševnem razvoju. Odraslim osebam z motnjo v duševnem in telesnem razvoju omogočamo kvalitetno življenje, s tem da izvajamo v storitev vodenje, varstvo ter zaposlitev pod posebnimi pogoji in institucionalno varstvo. Storitev vodenje, varstvo ter zaposlitev pod posebnimi pogoji jim omogoča, da so delovno aktivni in na ta način vzdržujejo in razvijajo svoje sposobnosti. Vsakemu posamezniku želimo omogočiti, da se lahko vključi v zaposlitev, ki je v skladu z njegovimi željami in sposobnostmi. Zraven zaposlitve pa storitev posamezniku omogoča tudi socialno vključenost in podporo strokovnih delavcev pri načrtovanju ciljev in reševanju težav. Institucionalno varstvo je namenjeno posameznikom, ki si želijo bolj samostojnega življenja izven njihovega doma ter tistim, ki so ostali brez družine, ne zmorejo pa živet sami. Uporabnike spodbujamo in učimo, da so v okviru svojih sposobnosti čimbolj samostojni (skrb zase, vključevanje v lokalno skupnost, skrb za dom in prehrano...).

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).
