Description
In the past, Idrija Youth Center successfully organized three group volunteering projects named Make House Alive. These projects involved renovating our Youth Center into a hostel for youth travelers. Now, we are eager to breathe new youthful life into our center with a group volunteering project, specifically focusing on our terrace. With your support, we aim to transform the terrace into a versatile area suitable for concerts, workshops, and a cozy hangout spot for the youth of Idrija. This project serves as an opportunity for you to get familiar with the current needs and desires of today's youth and brainstorm ways to tailor the space to their preferences under the guidance of an expert interior designer. You will be able to learn about the basic principles of space design and unleash your creativity by designing the perfect space for Idrija youth from recycled materials we will gather from the local collection center.
