The retaking of an abandoned factory for youth and culture in a picturesque alpine town
Our youth center is located in Kamnik, Slovenia. We specialise in culture, but our activities include everything from entrepreneurship to healthy life-style. We are highly involved in the community and produce a number of festivals, most notably the festival of culture Kamfest, which recieves more than 40.000 visitors annually.
The project is the continuation of our previous Gunpowder city, which was the documentation and presentation of the abandoned gunpowder factory KIK. This project is will be the retaking of the abandoned space - we intend to renovate some buildings for culture and youth. This april we "liberated" the first building and within it created a coworking space for young entrepreneurs. Further plans involve the creation of a concert venue, museum house, common area, ...
The main project of the volunteers will be help with the renovation of the abandoned spaces as well as concieving and implementing cultural and youth activities that will take place there. Other projects, which they can participate with will be organising and execution of festivals, concerts, workshops ect. At the very beginning, to help them settle in, they will help with the largest culture festival in our town Kamfest. As members of our team they will be able to attend trainings and workshops in a wide variety of fields, such as organising concerts, theatre plays, music production, video production, graphic design, ect. and also regarding entrepreneurship and NGO management.
The project will take place prom the beginning of August 2015 to the end of May 2016. We are seeking for four volunteers - your organisation can send all four or just two. Each of them will have a private room with a shared bathroom, kitchen and living room. Money for food and pocket money will be provided. The only prerequisite of the volunteers we seek is that they are active and motivated - no other skills are required, as we are happy to give them the knowlege and know-how ourselves.
All interested partners can send us the application form attached to our e-mail.
