Sporočilo za javnost…
V petek, 21. marca 2014, je v dvorani šport centra Prodnik, v občini Ljubno, potekala konferenca z naslovom »Začnimo zdaj.«. Organizator je bilo Društvo za kulturo odnosov SPES iz Zgornje Savinjske doline. Potekala je v okviru projekta »Začnimo zdaj. Nevladne organizacije se povezujemo, da zagotovimo večjo socialno varnost posameznika.«, ki ga financira EU program Grundtvig. Projekt vodi društvo SPES, v njem sodelujeta še dva irska partnerja.
Konference se je udeležilo 47 predstavnikov različnih nevladnih in vladnih organizacij iz Zgornje Savinjske doline, Velenja, Polzele in Celja. Med njimi so bili predstavniki občin, Centra za socialno delo, Splošne bolnice Celje, Varstveno-delovnega centra, osnovnih šol in društev, ki delujejo na področju sociale ali dela s starejšimi. Konferenca je bila namenjena obravnavi problematike skrbnikov, s katerimi se v Sloveniji sistematično še nihče ne ukvarja. So pa to ljudje, ki so zaradi skrbi za svoje najbližje, prikrajšani za marsikaj v življenju. Med njimi je tudi veliko otrok, ki ob bolnih starših ali sorojencih, nimajo priložnosti zaživeti sproščenega in zdravega otroštva.
Na konferenci so predstavniki dveh organizacij, iz Severne Irske (Velika Britanija) in Republike Irske, predstavili svoje delovanje – kako skrbijo za skrbnike, kakšno podporo in programe jim nudijo ter kako financirajo svoje dejavnosti. S prisotnimi so podelili svoje izkušnje in spoznanja, ki so si jih nabrali tekom 25-letnega dela. Vsi udeleženci so si bili enotni, da je potrebno tovrstno dejavnost vpeljati tudi pri nas. Potrebno je povezati nevladne in vladne organizacije ter pripraviti skupen program. Društvo SPES ga želi pripraviti v sklopu tega projekta za območje Zg. Savinjske doline, kot »pilotni projekt«.
