Resumo: Youth Center Idrija (Mladinski center Idrija) is a community space and youth node in the town of Idrija (Slovenia) that functions as a meeting place for young people and increasingly for the whole community of Idrija. The story of Youth Center Idrija 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 Idrija. A petition for the founding of such space followed and a vision plan for it was written by young activists of Students’ Association Idrija 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 Idrija was thus formed as an umbrella organization by 3 local NGO (Scouts' Association Rod srebrnih krtov Idrija, Association for youth development Idrija 2020 and Students' Association Idrija). 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:Education and personal growth

Perfil: The project will include 18 young people, aged between 20 and 30. In addition to the participants from abroad and from Slovenia, there will be a coordinator from the Idrija Youth Center, three mentors and coordinators from each country

Tarefas: The aim of the project is to renovate the hostel and provide attractive offer from young people for (young) visitors that come to Idrija, more precisely warm and welcoming spaces full of energy, innovative guided tours or something else the teams will think of in the process of planning. Their job will also be to help organize activities at the main square in the town, called pop-up children’s playground, that take place once a week.
At the same time, we would like to offer the participants to spend fun time in a group of international participants, to work in a team and to get learning experience which will include project planning and strengthening of different competences, useful in their future life.

The participants will be divided into three groups, according to their interests and skills:
- the group that will be in charge of technical innovations (such as making new furniture elements)
- the group that will be in charge of design innovations (such as embellishing hallways, painting on walls)
- the group that will be in charge of creating activities to do within the hostel for future guests (such as the game Unlock the Idrija Hostel)
Each group will have a mentor and all participants will be more than welcome to give their own suggestions and to share their specific skills with us.

1. BEGINNING (5th April): starting with getting general information about your stay, getting to know each other and getting acquainted with their mentors
2. STUDY VISIT (8TH April): a trip, probably to a well-known youth hostel in Maribor which is known for its inventive activities and to a workshop where old pieces of furniture are renovated
