KERIC

KERIC is a non-profit non-governmental youth organization that works with children and young people that are 7-30 years old, but also with adults from the Kysuce region. We offer various activities with an international dimension, which develop the personality of children and young people and vary according to the needs of individuals and groups. We are trying to connect our Kysuce region with Europe and gradually with the whole world. Dozens of young people take the opportunity to travel and experience unique experiences in countries around the world. Every year, volunteers visit us in Čadca to convey their culture, customs, and languages through fun activities. We also send groups of young people from 13 to 30 years of age to the world for international youth exchanges. We have been cooperating with primary and secondary schools in Kysuce for a long time. Throughout the school year, once or twice a week, volunteers from abroad attend schools and help motivate pupils and students, especially in foreign language classes. In addition, we organize regular educational activities for local youth, such as workshops on engaging topics, weekends, webinars with guests, creative workshops for school clubs, and the very popular International Christmas. Every year we open language courses for different age categories, which are led by our foreign volunteers together with Slovak teachers. During summer we organize camps for children from 7 to 16 years. An international team of leaders, intense experiences with peers in nature, lots of attractive activities, joy, and a pleasant mood. We enjoy everything we do. We are constantly learning and adapting to new conditions. We try to supplement what is missing in society, that makes sense and helps people to realize their ideas and meet their needs. We create space for young people to express themselves and realize their ideas. Every obstacle moves us forward and so we grow together. We will be very happy if you join us.
