Občianske združenie Lastovička pri ZŠ Pod Vinbargom 1 Bardejov

astovička is a non-profit organisation closely connected with ZŠ s MŠ Pod Vinbargom 1 in Bardejov, Slovakia. Through our close cooperation with the school, we combine formal and non-formal education to create meaningful learning opportunities for children and young people.

We promote inclusion, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, environmental awareness, digital skills and creativity through volunteering, community engagement and international cooperation. We work with children and young people from diverse backgrounds, including those with fewer opportunities, disabilities and autism, ensuring equal access to learning and participation.

Our organisation benefits from the experience and international cooperation of ZŠ s MŠ Pod Vinbargom 1, a member of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet). Together, we have extensive experience in Erasmus+ projects, eTwinning and international partnerships. Our Erasmus+ work has been recognised with the European Innovative Teaching Award (EITA), and one of our cooperation projects received the Good Practice recognition.

We are looking for reliable long-term partners for Erasmus+ Youth projects (KA210 and KA220), youth exchanges, training courses and other international initiatives. We are particularly interested in inclusion, mental well-being, digital and AI literacy, active citizenship, environmental sustainability, intercultural learning and innovative approaches to youth work. We believe that international cooperation empowers young people, strengthens key competences and creates lasting positive impact on local communities.
