Slovenia: ESC: Beyond the Feed

Presentation of the programme

Beyond the Feed is a long-term ESC volunteering project hosted by MC Idrija, where two international volunteers will become part of a dynamic youth organisation and contribute to everyday youth work. MC Idrija is a youth centre working locally and internationally through projects, school collaborations, youth exchanges, mobile youth work, workshops, events, and support for young people. As a volunteer, you will be fully included in this environment and encouraged to explore different areas of youth work based on your interests, skills, and ideas. The project offers a flexible and supportive space to learn, try new things, and co-create activities with our team. You may also help share MC Idrija’s activities with the wider community through creative social media storytelling (such as videos, photos, reels, or posts), giving visibility to the work we do with young people. This is one of several ways you can contribute, alongside many other opportunities within youth work.
