Community Point multi-generational centre
What is the Community Point multi-generational centre?
The Community Point multi-generational centre is intended for intergenerational and intercultural integration. It creates space for socialising, cooperation, knowledge transfer and active learning at all stages of life, while introducing content for the inclusion and socialisation of vulnerable groups as well as offering preventive programs and content. Through diversified activities taking place in the centre, we enable social inclusion of all generations in the community and build solidarity, trust and mutual help. By doing so, we want to enable the overcoming of the generational gap, which is often forgotten due to the fast pace of life.
The main objective of the centre is to provide a safe and stimulating space where local people can participate in various preventive activities. Special emphasis is placed on the integration of vulnerable groups and the prevention of social exclusion.
In 2024, as part of the public tender for co-financing projects of multi-generational centres, we renewed our partnership with the Slovenian Philanthropy and established a new partnership with the Verjamem vate (I Believe in You) association.
