Priznanje za najboljšo prostovoljsko aktivnost v programu Evropska solidarnostna enota
Zavod Mladinski center Kotlovnica Kamnik je prejel Priznanje za najboljšo prostovoljsko aktivnost v programu Evropska solidarnostna enota (ESE) v letih 2024/2025, ki ga podeljuje nacionalna agencija Movit. V obrazložitvi so zapisali:
“Prostovoljski projekt Mladinskega centra Kotlovnica Kamnik je nadgradil pestro lokalno mladinsko dogajanje s svežimi idejami prostovoljcev. S svojo ustvarjalnostjo na področjih kulture, aktivnega državljanstva in učenja novih digitalnih veščin so povezali številne lokalne organizacije in društva ter soustvarili prostor sodelovanja, učenja in solidarnosti. Projektne aktivnosti so prostovoljcem omogočile širok spekter učnih izkušenj, od praktičnega dela do grajenja občutka pripadnosti skupnosti, obenem pa so v lokalnem okolju pustile pomemben in trajen pečat. Posebej sta izstopala močna usmerjenost v multimedijske vsebine in delo z digitalnimi tehnologijami, ki so prostovoljcem omogočile razvoj novih znanj in preizkušanje lastnih potencialov. Vrhunec je projekt v okviru prednostne naloge "vključevanje in raznolikost" dosegel z izvedbo delavnic ustvarjanja videov in delavnic improvizacije za mladino z gibalnimi oviranostmi, ki so jih prostovoljci zasnovali in izvedli.”
V imenu mladinskega centra se zahvaljujemo vsem prostovoljcem, mentorjem in organizacijam, ki so z nami sodelovali v teh 17 letih ESE-ja in EVS-a, ter lokalni skupnosti, ki že vrsto let sprejema mlade prostovoljce iz cele Evrope in jih vključuje v svoje delovanje in življenje. S pomočjo prostovoljcev se je izvedla marsikatera aktivnost, ki se sicer ne bi. Prav tako pa se nekdanji prostovoljci še danes radi vračajo v Kamnik, kjer so doživeli eno največjih življenskih izkušenj.
Recognition for the best volunteer activity in the European Solidarity Corps program
The Youth Center Kotlovnica Kamnik received the Recognition for the best volunteer activity in the European Solidarity Corps (ESE) program in 2024/2025, awarded by the national agency Movit. In the explanation, they wrote:
“The volunteer project of the Youth Center Kotlovnica Kamnik has upgraded the diverse local youth events with fresh ideas from volunteers. With their creativity in the areas of culture, active citizenship and learning new digital skills, they have connected numerous local organizations and associations and co-created a space for cooperation, learning and solidarity. The project activities have provided the volunteers with a wide range of learning experiences, from practical work to building a sense of community, while at the same time leaving a significant and lasting mark on the local environment. The strong focus on multimedia content and work with digital technologies, which have enabled the volunteers to develop new knowledge and test their own potential, stood out in particular. The project reached its peak within the priority task of "inclusion and diversity" by implementing video creation workshops and improvisation workshops for youth with mobility disabilities, which were designed and implemented by the volunteers.”
On behalf of the youth center, we would like to thank all the volunteers, mentors and organizations that have worked with us during these 17 years of ESE and EVS, as well as the local community, which has been welcoming young volunteers from all over Europe for many years and including them in its activities and life. With the help of volunteers, many activities have been carried out that would not have been possible otherwise. Also, former volunteers still like to return to Kamnik, where they had one of the greatest experiences of their lives.
