Zavod za izobraževanje in razvoj Učenjak

Zavod za izobraževanje in razvoj Učenjak (ZIRU) is a non-governmental non-profit organisation that is working on promotion and recognition of knowledge and competences acquired through non-formal education and informal learning. Our main activities are based on intercultural learning by using a non-formal education and youth programs in order to increase youth participation in international and local context. We have established strong partnerships with NGOs, youth councils, schools, municipalities, start-up centers and other institutions all around the Europe. We strive to integrate all generations of young people into our work through the regular activities and services we offer, from pre-school children to elementary school pupils, secondary school pupils, students, as well as young people completing formal education. The institution is constantly working to listen to the desires of our users and to co-create the activities we offer. We cooperate with many public institutions, organizations and associations on local and regional level; therefore, we are recognized as a reliable and effective partner. ZIRU expands the possibility of young peoples' employment and social inclusion, especially for those "left behind", with its supplement activities such as workshops, stakeholder meetings, system of peer advising and public promotion. Zavod Učenjak (ZIRU )is looking for potential partners for KA1 and KA1 projects. We would also love to cooperate in any KA2 projects. We are open to any kind of suggestions for projects that might come from your side as well (searching for partners for strategic partnerships, training courses, youth exchanges, short term ESC projects etc.). We are a NGO made out of youth working for youth and for the development and openness of a small town in the east of Slovenia.
