Slovenia

 

- Word for volunteering : Voluntariat.

- Words for associations: neprofitna in nevladna organizacija (non-governmental and non-profit organisations).

 

There is no generally recognised definition of volunteering in Slovenia. However, the definition proposed in the new draft law on voluntary work describes voluntary work as “an activity of an individual doing non-profit activities, out of his own free will and for the benefit of others or society and without expecting any material benefits”.

 

For further information, see the report of the European Commission about volunteering in Slovenia.

 

 Voluntariat - SCI Slovenia

 

 Voluntariat - SCI Slovenia is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation which co-ordinates voluntary work and international work camps in Slovenia. Voluntariat organises training for volunteers and other people in order to spread an understanding of the ideals of voluntary work; organises voluntary work in Slovenia together with local groups, associations and other organisations which work in the area of nature conservation, peace education, help to disadvantaged etc., when and where is needed; supports the initiatives of groups and individuals who are working voluntarily to show the solidarity with local communities and to promote self-help within disadvantaged communities; analyses and evaluates all work it supports, taking into account both the local and wider context in which it is carried out, and publishes the result of its projects; offers and spreads information about voluntary work in Slovenia and other countries; joins international actions which promote co-operation between people of different nations, religions, cultures and political beliefs, convinced that such understanding of others can lead to non-violent resolutions to conflicts.
