CARPE DIEM – Slovakia

CARPE DIEM has been founded in 1993 as People To People. Since 2000 we are focused on young people aged 14 – 30. For our activities we use especially EU programs as Youth in action, Comenius, Leonardo = Erasmus plus. Since 2000 we organized about 30 projects in our town and took part in about 120 projects abroad. Our favourite subjects are environment, cultural heritage, sport, leisure time and others.

CARPE DIEM has participated in more than 30 international projects during the last years (long and short term) and have also coordinated and managed different ones within all the actions of the Youth in Action programme (all actions), Lifelong Learning programme (Leonardo and Grundtvig) and right now, within the Erasmus+ programme. About exchanges and youth mobility, the entity has participated as coordinating organisation in several youth exchanges and has also managed two strategic partnerships at European level related to the exchange of good practices on projects implementation for youth and volunteering educations. We have participated also as sending organisation in around 20 youth exchanges out of Slovakia about different topics and issues and we have a regular team of youth workers, volunteers and young members who take regularly active part in all the local activities of the organization an also on its European programmes.
