From 17th to 19th January 2023, we hosted a group of amazing people from Romania (AIDE), Lithuania (Jaunuolių Dienos Centras), Poland (niemarudni.pl) and Belgium (YouthProAktiv) for a study visit within a project Building Bridges (Erasmus+). 

The project Building bridges was made for building partnerships between organizations with different challenges in their work. Through exchanging good practices and lessons from experiences, we are able to learn from one another and broaden our knowledge in the field of youth work. This week we explored the Slovenian youth sector, its challenges and solutions. We also talked about our organization’s work and opened a conversation about sustainability within the youth work sector. Our participants had a chance to meet representatives from the National Youth Council of Slovenia and meet our activists. They were also presented with a local practice for addressing youth mental health in the Counseling Center of Istria and the Youth Center of Koper.
