Free holidays
As part of our Sponsorship in Slovenia and Chain of Good People humanitarian programmes, we organise humanitarian holidays and a large number of leisure activities. Children who are already included in our humanitarian programmes Sponsorship in Slovenia and Chain of Good People, as well as children from socially less advantaged families, who are recommended to us every year by professional services (school counselling services, professional workers at the Social Work Centre, health institutions) and children who need free or subsidised holidays, based on the request of their parents, are invited to participate in these holidays. If parents are sending in an application for their child, they must describe their situation and attach the decision sent to them by the social work centre.
If you wish to SEND AN APPLICATION for humanitarian/free holidays, click the bubble below. After submitting the application, all applications will be processed by the Subsidised Vacation Commission. After the Commission hearing, we will inform you of the decision by phone or by e-mail, and we will decide on the vacation time slot possibilities together.
A general application will be published (i.e. not for individual programmes, as we are trying to provide each child with one week of free holidays during the summer), and you will be able to note the month that suits you best, as well as your child’s interests, in order for us to select the most appropriate camp for them. If they were already on vacation last year, you can also mention that, especially if your child wishes to go to the same programme again. You can only register a child once.
CALL FOR PROFESSIONALS
If you notice a child whose parents cannot afford family vacation and who has to stay at home because of that, you can also send in an application for free holidays for this child.
If the child is included in the Sponsorship in Slovenia or Chain of Good People programme, they will automatically participate in the programme free of charge. Others will have to provide the decision of the social work centre on child benefits.
You can submit your proposal by filling out the form. In this case, parents should not fill out an application themselves!
CALL FOR PARENTS
If you cannot afford holidays for your child or if you cannot pay the full amount of the holiday, please fill out the free holiday form above.
If the child is included in the Sponsorship in Slovenia or Chain of Good People programme, they will automatically participate in the programme free of charge. Others will have to provide the decision of the social work centre on child benefits.
In this case, please do not fill out regular holiday applications!
We will always do our best to invite all children to one of the forms of vacation that we provide (we will personally discuss with the parents beforehand to set out the location of the vacation, the time slot, and the suitability of programmes according to the age of the child).
Our Humanitarian Holidays Committee adopts the final decision about the participation. Parents will be notified by e-mail or by phone.
During the school year, we also organise additional holidays for children who cannot apply regularly (for paid holidays). This is the only way for us to provide enough slots for all children!
