ABOUT
CARPE DIEM
Carpe Diem is a non-governmental organisation founded in 2005. The aim of the
organisation is to encourage and develop creative and social potential of
children, youth and adults. We are located in central Croatia in the city of
Karlovac but we work throughout Karlovac County. We cooperate with
organisations from Karlovac, Karlovac County, Croatia and Europe. Our main
target group are young people aged 15-30. The main topics of our
activities are – non-formal education, youth information, leisure activities,
youth mobility and volunteering.
Our main projects are Youth Centre, Youth Information Centre, Volunteer Centre and youth mobility projects.
Youth
Centre is a place of non-formal education and leisure activities for young
people.
Throughout the year we organise in the Youth Centre various activities – art
and creative workshops, art exhibitions, IT workshops, foreign languages
lessons, social and pedagogical workshops, job skills development workshops.
Through Youth Information Centre we provide to young people information about all issues related to young people (e.g. education, employment, health, culture, mobility). We are also Eurodesk multiplier for Karlovac County and thus we provide to young people in Karlovac County information about the opportunities for international mobility.
The aim
of our Volunteer Centre is to increase the number of volunteers, to increase
the number of organisations that provide volunteering activities and to connect
volunteers and organisations that receive volunteers. Throughout the year we
also organise several volunteer actions in the local
community.
Through our mobility projects we aim to give opportunity to young people in our
local community to participate in various types of projects (e.g. youth
exchanges, training courses, EVS/ESS) which enables them to acquire skills and
knowledge in the European context.
