Zavod O - Kids in Action 2

Description

"Longterm EVS project ""Zavod O – Kids in Action 2"" has connected and improved cooperation between five daily centers in the wider area of Škofja Loka, Slovenia: MDC Blok (Youth Daily Care Center Blok), PUM (Project learning of Youth), Daily Care Center DCΩ, Daily center Podlbnik (all in Škofja Loka) and Daily Care Center Škrlovec in Kranj. First two are run by an NGO, DC Škrlovec, DCΩ and DC Podlubnik work under the Center for Social Work in Kranj and Škofja Loka, which are governmental institutions.Despite slight organisational differences they all have a common target group, which is children and youth between the age of 6 and 16 years and their families. The fundamental idea of all five Daily Care Centers is based on the desire to offer a program of activities to the generation/ group of young people with different problems, who spend their free time aimlessly and in a disorganized way, in idleness and boredom, who are deprived from normal family life experience.They give children and youth a place, where they feel comfortable and safe, where they can develop their social skills and get quality support considering their behavioral, emotional, learning and other difficulties. The program aims to provide support to learners with specific learning needs and to those with adolescent problems. Support is provided both at the individual level – working with each individual, as well as in cooperation with parents and with the whole family. The program includes group work and activities with adolescents, cooperation between different institutions, educational assistance, advisory work, holiday camps, daily excursions. All these centers are extremely similar to each other,they have similar practice of work and practicaly same target population. That is the reason why we came to the conclusion, that the cooperation between those centers should be streighten by hosting a common EVS project with 5 EVS volunteers from Spain, Germany, Turkey, Russia and Ukraine. Each of them was supposed to be included in the work of each Daily Care center for the period of one year, from september 2015 until september 2016. They would be involved in Daily centres' activities such as holidays activities, camps for youth, school support, leasure activities, administrative tasks. They would help the performing personel with public promotion and they would became acquainted with the theory and practice of preventive work in Slovenia etc. However, funding was approved only three volunteers, so the role of 5 volunteers was for 4 months performed only by three volunteers. At the next deadline we have aplied new project named Kids in Action 2.1, which was approved, so at the begining of 2016 we started to host two more EVS volunteers, which expanded the team of Kids in Action 2 volunteers.Not only the volunteers who were hosted gained from the project, but also local young people involved as activists in our organizations. As they participated in an international team, they learned from one another in a multicultural environment. Through it they gained for such a small town as Škofja Loka, yet very much needed European dimension of viewing the world. At the same time, the Erasmus + program was presented and promoted among local youth, which we tried to motivate to participate at any of the existing programs in the future. In this way, through the examples of good practice, we made significant impact on the increase of mobility of young people. In addition, the project aimed to positively influence and spread the values of the EU among other residents of the local community, many local residents were indirectly involved in the project through collaboration with various organizations and individuals."
