Resumo: The hosting organization is a community space and youth node in Slovenia that functions as a meeting place for young people and increasingly for the whole community. The story of Youth Center dates back in 2008, when the need for a common youth space was articulated at one of the round tables organized by Student’s Association.
A petition for the founding of such space followed and a vision plan for it was written by young activists of Students’ Association and local Scouts’ Association. After years of negotiations with local government, a 300 m2 in the old monastery were given into use to young local people in 2012. Youth center was thus formed as an umbrella organization by 3 local NGO. Youth volunteers renovated the spaces and furnished it with second-hand and DIY furniture, donated by inhabitants and businesses of Idrija. In 2015, additional 40 m2 were acquired to host youth-led makers’ and hackers’ space.Today the aim of the community youth space is to encourage public participation of youth in decision-making processes, structured dialogue, youth mobility and volunteering, informal education, social inclusion and inter-cultural dialogue, creative and active free time …Several activities inhabit the space:
