The experience of the non-profit organization Voices from six years of work in the Trenčín region shows that younger and older people still know relatively little about the activities of civic initiatives and associations, especially about the work of people in the helping professions. At the same time, there are gradually more organizations in the region that are systematically and boldly looking for solutions to current societal challenges. Unfortunately, often the professionals who work in these organizations are seen only as optimistic enthusiasts rather than recognized professionals well versed in their profession. The project will improve the position of vulnerable groups. Thanks to ten events in Café Na ceste, where people with mental disabilities serve, guests will naturally become acquainted with supported employment. In addition, there will be 10 quality interviews with people who enrich life in the city of Trenčín with civic activity. In the guests and readers of the blogs, the project will support empathy and respect for helping professions, as well as strenghten the relationship with the city. The main idea of the project: „Positive energy will bring good to the whole community“.
In addition to volunteers, the project will cooperate with reliable partners: Triple Fingers (graphic and DTP works), the City of Trenčín, the Cultural Information Center, friendly spaces (promotion and communication). Although the project is local, it can inspire other people throughout Slovakia through online space.
