The main aim of the project Do the (r) evolution! was to develop high quality activities for young people in the fields of art, creation and civil engagement with the help of informal and nonformal learning. Encouraging critical thinking towards the existing power relations in the world, understanding differences in globalised world, taking responsibility of your actions, developing your own ideas, and to be able to plan and execute your ideas, were key components of our projects. The project lasted for 11 months and gave volunteers the possibility to participate in the formation of cultural, youth, youth-information, volunteer and social activities of Pekarna Magdalenske mreže. Two volunteers, a 28 year old girl from France, an illustrator/ grafic designer, and a 25 year old boy, a philosopher by education but a photographer by heart, from Czech Republic, were actively involved in the EVS project, and through that had the opportunities to achieve personal growth and acquire a sense of belonging to the organization and local community. Volunteers were be involved in: - Pekarna DOBIŠ DAŠ; activities with and for children and young people with less opportunities, - Footsteps of the city; urban walks and discussions about the city and the engaged use of public space, - Guest Room Maribor; artists in residence platform, - Aunt Rosa's Library; library with a critically engaged literature, - Gallery K18; gallery open to young artists, - Pekarna potopisi (potopisi, ki to niso); travelogues with a critical note, - Zine!; self-published work of original or appropriated texts/images, - StopTrik Festival Maribor; international stop-motion animation film festival, - Filmopeka; film education for young people, - Vegan dinners; events promoting veganism as an ethical and political movement, - Day for change in Maribor 2015; national day of promoting voluntary work in the localcommunity, - Festival of volunteering in Maribor 2015. Both volunteers were strongly encouraged to develop their own project ideas in the field of culture and to deliver creativ workshops (field of photography and illustration). They organised and executed art exhibitions “BEING-THERE, Slovenia thourgh Czech and French eyes” in November 2015 at Gallery K18, Maribor. One of the main goals was that volunteers embrace the cultural diversity which project Do the (r) evolution!, Pekarna Magdalenske mreže has to offer and develop a critical way of thinking in cultural and public / civil spheres, that encourages active citizenship.
