ZAJEDNICA U CENTRU - Da imam gdje... živjeti

---

---

TKO SMO MI?

Mi smo grupa građanki iz Petrinje i Siska i od 29. prosinca nismo stali.

Kroz naše udruge, Udrugu IKS i Agenciju lokalne demokracije Sisak, otkad nam se svima život nepovratno promijenio velikim potresom od 6,4 po Richteru, neumorno, već 8 mjeseci, radimo da pomognemo našim sugrađanima i sugrađankama. Nakon tolikog truda, shvatile smo da će nam zajednica nestati ako naši sugrađani i sugrađanke, a posebno mladi, nemaju razloga ostati u njoj i ponovno ju izgraditi. Potresi su srušili i oštetili domove, zgrade, institucije, kulturnu baštinu i infrastrukturu, ali još više obitelji, ljude, naše međusobne veze i sigurnost svakodnevnice. No, mi smo i dalje tu. Iako se svi suočavamo s teškim uvjetima, želimo ponovno izgraditi zajednicu u kojoj će se dešavati naši životi i oni naših prijatelja, obitelji, susjeda te budućih generacija. Jer su hrana, voda i krov nad glavom najosnovnije ljudske potrebe, ali za imalo kvalitetan život potrebne su nam društvena interakcija, međusobna podrška i intelektualni poticaji.

Zato smo odlučile pokrenuti ovu kampanju, #daimamgdje.

ŠTO ŽELIMO?

Želimo osnovati dva društveno-kulturna centra u Sisku i Petrinji. Imamo veliko iskustvo rada u zajednici i vidimo da je njeno okupljanje i stvaranje sadržaja u svakodnevnom životu za druženje, povezivanje, zabavu, osoban razvoj i međusobnu pomoć najvažnije da bi se zajednica održala. Zato će se kroz dva kontejnerska objekta postaviti temeljna infrastruktura ovih centara, gdje možemo nuditi zajednici i građanima ono što je potrebno.

Što trebamo od tebe? Želimo nabaviti opremu za te društveno-kulturne centre i treba nam u tome podrška..

#daimamgdje organizirati:

• Koncerte i festivale,
• Izložbe, predstavljanja knjiga, čitanja poezije,
• Predstave i kulturne manifestacije,
• Besplatne edukacije i radionice za sve uzraste,
• Konferencije, tribine, diskusijske događaje o temama važnim za zajednicu,
• Filmske projekcije,
• Savjetovanja i pomoći građanima,
• Volonterske, solidarne i humanitarne aktivnosti,
• Prostor za mlade, umjetnike i građane da realiziraju svoje ideje,
• I još mnogo toga...

U našem prostoru svaka osoba će pronaći mjesto za sebe. Od djece i mladih koji će imati prostor za kreativno izražavanje, educiranje i druženje s vršnjacima, odraslih koji će moći učiti nove vještine, ali i imati sigurno mjesto za ostaviti svoje najmlađe do starijih koji će se moći opet povezati sa svojom zajednicom. Da imamo gdje raditi aktivnosti i sadržaj za koje inače moramo ići u Zagreb ili u inozemstvo.

Ali da bismo tamo mogli raditi i organizirati aktivnosti, treba nam infrastruktura i oprema.

Tu si nam TI važan_na!

ZAŠTO ZASLUŽUJEMO TVOJE POVJERENJE?

Zato što smo grupa ljudi koja je život posvetila radu u našim zajednicama, s ljudima u našoj zajednici. Znamo tu zajednicu, znamo što joj treba i znamo kako to realizirati. O tome svjedoči i koliko smo toga ostvarile u zadnjih osam mjeseci, paralelno s izravnom pomoći koju smo pružale potrebitima:

• Proveli smo preko 30 radionica za djecu i mlade,
• Održali smo preko 50 aktivnosti za starije, nemoćne i marginalizirane,
• Pružili smo psihosocijalnu podršku, dostavljali hranu i higijenske potrepštine stanovnicima kontejnerskih naselja,
• Sudjelovali smo u koordinaciji humanitarnih organizacija na Baniji zajedno sa Stožerom i Crvenim križom,
• Poslali smo na razmjenu preko 90 mladih iz ruralnog područja županije,
• Izravno smo pomogli preko 400 osoba u prevladavanju posljedica potresa,
• U suradnji sa školama provele smo 6 volonterskih akcija u kojima je sudjelovalo preko 70 učenika, nastavnika i roditelja,
• Otvorili smo dječju knjižnicu i mjesto ljekovitih priča,
• Organizirali smo studijsku posjetu recikliranom imanju Vukomerić za učenike i profesore 2 srednje škole,
• Ugostili smo plesnu skupinu francuskog baleta,
• Okupili smo lokalne pjesnike kroz poetske susrete ''Pisci na Baniji“,
• Predstavili smo mlade neafirmirane i afirmirane glazbenike i umjetnike kroz nastupe i izložbe,
• Organizirali smo izložbe radova osoba iz kontejnerskih naselja i mladih lokalnih umjetnika,
• Postavili smo izložbu volonterskih programa Sisačko-moslavačke županije u Sisku i Hrvatskoj Kostajnici,
• Organizirali smo i provele konferenciju „Alati podrške za obrazovanje djece i mladih o održivom razvoju“ na kojoj su sudjelovali predstavnici preko 40 udruga i odgojno-obrazovnih institucija s područja Hrvatske,
• Provele smo razne kulinarske radionice,
• I iskreno, vjerojatno još toga što smo zaboravile u svakodnevnoj strci po terenu...

I u svemu tome, podržalo nas je preko 500 volontera s više od 20 000 volonterskih sati!

Procjeni jesmo li po ovome zaslužile tvoje povjerenje i možemo li mi ovu ideju realizirati.

KAKO NAS MOŽEŠ PODRŽATI?

Nadamo se da si do sad prepoznao_la društvenu vrijednost naše ideje za zajednice u Sisačko-moslavačkoj županiji.

U društveno-kulturnim centrima zajednica se okuplja da bi stvarala, konzumirala i komunicirala. Takvi centri zajednici nude osjećaj pripadnosti i solidarnosti; to su nekonvencionalna mjesta za druženje, opuštanje, razgovor, susrete, produkciju, prezentaciju, edukaciju, savjetovanje i informiranje (Kaoperativa)

Takav centar pridonosit će kvaliteti života u gradu, povećanju aktivnog sudjelovanja građana u društvenim aktivnostima i prevladavanju ostalih suvremenih izazova kao što su siromaštvo, nezaposlenost i isključenost. (Ana Abramović - Primjeri DKC - ova)

COMMUNITY IN THE CENTRE – So I can have a place to ... live

---

---

WHO ARE WE?

We are a group of citizens from Petrinja and Sisak and since the 29th of December we haven't stopped.

Through our Associations, Association IKS and Local Democracy Agency Sisak, since our lives have irreversibly changed with the big earthquake of 6,4 Richter magnitude, tirelessly, for 8 months now, we have been working on helping our community members. After so much effort, we have realised that our community will disappear if our community members, especially youth, do not have a reason to stay here and rebuild it. The earthquakes have demolished and devastated homes, apartments, buildings, institutions, cultural heritage and infrastructure, and even more so families, people, our connections and the safety of everyday life. However, we are still here. Even though we are all dealing with difficult conditions, we want to rebuild this community in which our lives, the lives of our friends, family, neighbours and future generations will continue. Food, water and a roof over our heads are basic human needs, yet for a decent life, we need social interaction, mutual support and intellectual stimulation.

That's why we decided to initiate this campaign, #daimamgdje (English: So I can have a place to...)

WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO?

We want to set up two socio-cultural centres in Sisak and Petrinja. We have extensive experience in community work and we know that community gatherings, creating content in everyday lives for social interactions, connections, entertainment, personal development and mutual support are most important in sustaining a community. That is why we will provide a basic infrastructure for these centres through the use of two container units, where we can offer the community and its members what is needed.

What do we need from you? We would like to procure equipment for these socio-cultural centres and we need support to do this.

So we can have a place to organise:

• Concerts and festivals,
• Exhibitions, book presentations, poetry readings,
• Theatre shows and cultural manifestations,
• Free workshops, education and training for all age groups,
• Conferences, forums, events initiating dialogue about topics important to the community,
• Film/movie projections,
• Advisory/counseling service for citizens,
• Volunteering, solidarity and humanitarian activities,
• A space for youth, artists and citizens to realise their ideas,
• And much, much more…

Within our space, every person will find a place for themselves. From children and youth who will have a place for creative expression, education and socialisation with peers, adults who will be able to learn new skills, yet also have a safe place to leave their youngsters, to the senior citizens who will be able to connect once again with their community. To have a place to organise activities and content for which we would otherwise have to go to Zagreb or abroad.

To be able to work on this and organise these activities, we need the infrastructure and equipment.

This is where we need YOU, your support is important to us!

WHY DO WE DESERVE YOUR TRUST?

Because we are a group of people who dedicated their lives to work within our community, with our community members. We know these communities, we know what they need and how to accomplish that. This is evidenced by everything we've achieved during the last eight months, while providing assistance to those in need.

• We conducted over 30 workshops for children and youth,
• We held over 50 activities for the elderly, frail and marginalized citizens,
• We provide psychosocial support, delivered food and hygiene supplies to the inhabitants of container settlements,
• We participated in the coordination of humanitarian organisations in our Banovina region, together with the crisis Headquarters and the Red Cross,
• We sent over 90 young people from rural areas of the county for exchanges,
• We directly helped over 400 people to overcome immediate consequences of the earthquake,
• In cooperation with schools, we conducted 6 volunteer actions in which over 70 students, teachers and parents participated,
• We opened a children's library and a place for healing stories,
• We organised a study visit to the Recycled Estate educational centre in Vukomerić for students and teachers of 2 high schools,
• We hosted a dance group of French ballet,
• We gathered local poets through poetry meets "Writers in Banija",
• We presented young non-established and established musicians and artists through performances and exhibitions,
• We organised exhibitions of works by people from container settlements and young local artists,
• We set up an exhibition of volunteer programs of Sisak-Moslavina County in Sisak and Hrvatska Kostajnica,
• We organised and conducted a conference "Support Tools for the Education of Children and Youth on Sustainable Development", which was attended by representatives of over 40 associations and educational institutions from Croatia,
• We conducted various culinary workshops,
• and honestly, probably more that we have forgotten in the daily rush in the field ...

And, in all of this, we were supported by over 500 volunteers with over 20 000 volunteer hours!

We hope that you can assess whether we have earned your trust in this way and whether we can realise this idea.

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT US?

We hope that you were able to recognise the social value of our idea for the communities in the Sisak-Moslavina County. If you are willing and ready to support us, donate as much as you can, and if you can't offer financial help, your support could be in sharing our story with your friends, family and associates.

Do you have a great idea on how you could, apart from the mentioned methods, offer your support to our story and idea? That's great! Contact us on the following email: [email protected]

WHAT DO WE PLAN TO DO WITH THE DONATIONS?

With every step in collecting resources, we can secure more of the needed equipment. They are all necessary items in ensuring quality programs.

For 11.400,00 € (* 80.000,00 HRK + platform and banking fees) – we can suppry everyting that's needed to organise activites in the socio-cultural centre and around it:

• Loudspeakers
  
• Stage monitors
• Microphones
• Mixers
• Lighting equipment
• Projector and projection screen
• And, of course, chairs because they are essential in COVID times

During the day the space will be used for workshops and other activities, and during the evenings it will be converted into an event area.

In socio-cultural centres, the community gathers to create, consume and communicate. Such centres offer the community a sense of belonging and solidarity; these are unconventional places to socialize, relax, talk, meet, produce, present, educate, counsel, and inform. (Kaoperativa)

Such a centre will contribute to the quality of life in the city, increase the active participation of citizens in social activities and overcome other contemporary challenges such as poverty, unemployment and exclusion. (Ana Abramović - Examples of SCCs)
