Idrija, Slovenia
Kuvaus
Together with young people from across Europe, you’ll explore fun and meaningful ways to make a positive impact in our community. This year, we’re teaming up with Idrija’s local community to revive its festive spirit. Inspired by Perkmandelc, the town’s playful mine elf, we’ll co-create decorations, stories, and experiences that mix tradition, creativity, and connection. Imagine turning quiet winter streets into a living storybook – with your ideas, hands, and heart at the center of it all. Through hands-on workshops, artistic expression, teamwork, and even shared cooking sessions, we’ll build a fair and festive village rooted in values like cooperation, sustainability, and justice. This is your chance to explore how creative action can shape community life in a joyful and meaningful way.
