ABOUT HOSTING ORGANIZATION
Youth Centre Domžale is a public body, which was established in 1998 by Municipality of Domžale. It is an organization that mainly provides activities and support for youth, aged between 7 and 30 years.
The principal aims of the Youth Centre Domžale are: – to provide support for youth; – to give them opportunity to spend their free time wisely and – to encourage them to get actively involved in a society on a local, national and international level. To achieve these goals we run various indoor and outdoor activities, which are held by Youth Centre Domžale alone or in cooperation with other Slovenian and international organizations.
Fields of activities include: educational activities, volunteer work, culture and creativity workshops, sport activities, information and consulting, international projects, intergenerational activities, participation and active citizenship.
HOW TO REACH VENUE
The easiest, but unfortunatelly often the most expensive, way to reach Slovenia by plane is to fly to airport “Letališče Jožeta Pučnika Ljubljana”.
You can also fly to nearby airports, like Venice, Zagreb, Graz, Milan and Klagenfurt. From there you can take FlixBus or GoOpti. GoOpti works like public transport, but is much faster and adaptable. They have connection from all of the nearest airports.
More information about the prices and destinations you can find on their website www.goopti.com. If you travel by GoOpti reserve the transport to the hostel (Ljubljanska cesta 1, Dob). If you travel with FlixBus, other buses and trains to Ljubljana city centre, take another bus to Dob pri Domžalah.
The ticket costs 2,7 euros. You are elegible to use public transfer. The amount that we cover for travel expenses depends on the distance.
We will use European Solidarity Corps funding rules:
– 100-499 km: 180 €
– 500-1999 km: 275 €
– 2000-2999km: 360 €
– 3000-3999km: 530 €.
Travel expenses will be reimbursed after receiving all of the invoices, tickets and boarding passes. You can contact us on info@czm-domzale.si.
Make sure you keep all travel documents!
