Pimpimpáré – užitočné využitie voľného času pre deti (Slovakia) (https://pimpimpare.sk/)
Our organization was established in 2005. Our main target group is the children and the youth but we work with adults as well since one of our organization’s aims is to develop and strengthen the community life in our village and we can achieve this goal the best through intergenerational learning in our opinion. We try to give a chance to everybody for personal development; that is why we organize a lot of different kinds of workshops, environmental programs, and discussions about healthy lifestyle, living consciously and green. In the meanwhile, we pay attention to our traditions as well since the traditions show us who we are.
We aim to take part in international projects, because in our opinion to get to know other cultures and traditions are as important as to show, to introduce ours.
We co-operate with other local organizations or with the municipality to organize bigger festivals, cultural, entertaining programs, and events and implement projects. We have organized in such way a regional family festival for years. They help us realize them better, while we offer for the youth, the inhabitants of our village a lot of possibilities of non-formal education. All our programs address not only the children and youngsters, but the whole family.
