Situated on the edge of Kamnik, a lively medieval town in Central Slovenia, Kotlovnica (Slovene for 'boiler room') Youth Centre was established in 2007. It has been promoting music, culture, health, sports, education and addressing social, housing, employment and youth mobility issues ever since.
Programme and activities
Kotlovnica is dedicated to the strengthening of an active lifestyle and offers a space for free exchange of ideas, knowledge and culture. It is first and foremost a youth organisation that is run by the Kamnik Culture House and is located in their underground story. Kotlovnica operates a steady programme of concerts, improvisational theater, workshops (video, photography, language courses, stage engineering, creative writing, visual arts), lectures and it aims to inform, impart knowledge and experience, develop positive attitudes and encourage free-time social gatherings of the young. They also tackle social issues, mobility of the young, their health, housing and employment opportunities (at home and abroad).
In May 2014, Kotlovnica crew launched Radio Kamn'k in collaboration with Rudolf Maister Grammar School of Secondary Education Kamnik. Radio Kamn'k is a local radio station run by the school's students on the Kotlovnica premises. Kotlovnica also hosts a series of events titled Greeting from the Boiler ('Pozdrav iz kotla') which is an annual social event for the youth and includes concerts, workshops, sporting activities and competitions. Kotlovnica crew collaborated with the Municipality of Kamnik in organising and promoting City of the Youth ('Mesto mladih') event in June 2014.
