Dates of mobilities: February 2021 – February 2022
Type of mobility: long-term project
Places: We are looking for 1 Ukrainian volunteer.
Information about the organization: Javni Zavod Mladi Zmaji is a network of innovative district youth centers that the city of Ljubljana is using to activate young people and give them a chance to change their lives. Youth centers offer all sorts of activities for youth. Programs include opportunities for non-formal and informal learning and everyday socializing, where visitors can gain new knowledge and skills, meet interesting people, broaden their horizons, get motivation, and overcome their own limitations. Youth centers are like a public living room where young people can get information, make friends, gain self-confidence, and learn social skills. They are safe places where young people meet supportive adults and also a place where they have the opportunity to take part in organized workshops and events with the support of mentors or develop their own projects. Youth workers employed there focus on maintaining a safe, respectful, and creative environment.
Javni zavod Mladi Zmaji cooperates with the local community, district schools, centers for social services, youth organizations, and NGOs in Ljubljana and Slovenia, universities, volunteers. We have 4 youth centers and a mobile/street unit of youth workers; each one different from the other. TiPovej! is an embassy of a creative society. We believe that people who can present their ideas clearly have a greater chance of success. And the greater the number of people who can realize their ideas, the more developed and successful the society. That is why we devise, organize, and implement different workshops at schools, NGOs, and youth centers for supporting the process of idea development.
We bring successful individuals/entrepreneurs and young people together to help youngsters find their own creativity, teach them creative thinking and search for new solutions. TiPovej! is also a member of a newly established Youth network for career development, where we work with other NGOs in Ljubljana to support young people in finding their passions and building the path to achieving their ideal careers.
