About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Every year the Association of Paraplegics and Quadriplegics is organizing a week-long summer getaway for their members. They are searching for volunteers to add a bit of an intercultural element to the event. In return, the volunteers will learn what the daily life of a person with spinal cord injury looks like, about Slovenia in general, and a lot more. The camp will take place in the Bela Krajina region, which is considered a melting pot of cultures due to its location. Bela Krajina has a rich folklore tradition and a beautiful picturesque landscape. During the camp, there will be organized little tours around the region.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will help paraplegics and tetraplegics (the members of our association). Their main job will be preparing the meals and taking care of house cleanliness. Also, they will talk with members and spend time together, playing chess, cards, and Slovenian popular game flinger. The volunteers will not need to help the members with personal hygiene. During the weekend we will attend folk festival Semiska ohcet , where we ll present countries of volunteers, so please bring some material for presentation. Also, if you have any abilities (sing, play an instrument, anything), please let us know, so we can put you in the program. Each volunteer will also make a presentation of his/her country on theme evenings in the house.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in a house together with our members (women have a separate room).
