Saturday, 11. in April 2026, the All-Russian Volunteer Action Day for change will take place, at which everyone can try themselves as a volunteer or volunteer. In the organization of the Slovenian philanthropy, the action will be already 17. for a year in a row, it connected organizations, individuals, schools and municipalities across Slovenia, this time under the slogan Give us peace.
The day for change is themed every year and so are the actions across Slovenia. This year we have chosen the slogan Give us peace, because it is peace that is sorely lacking at all levels. With the slogan, We want to invite you, united in a large volunteer family, to co-create, demand and feel peace. We emphasize that all volunteer actions are peaceful and solidary in their being, as they direct their energy towards coexistence and away from conflict.
As in previous years, a wide range of volunteer actions will take place across Slovenia – from intergenerational gatherings, cleaning campaigns, exchange rooms, creative workshops and other activities. More than 150 volunteer actions will be organized, which will take place in 76 places across Slovenia. Among the organizers are societies, kindergartens, schools, municipalities, public institutions and individuals. Around 410 organisations and 14,500 volunteers will be active throughout the country.
The director of Slovenian philanthropy Franci Zlatar announces before the day for change: "the time we live in is extremely chaotic, but it is our choice how we react to it. We can surrender to the dark forces that drag us into hatred, Wars, oppositions, ideological struggles and isolation, or we can try to make sense out of this very chaos. We can choose egoism, self-care and greed, or we can choose solidarity and humanity. Volunteering is a meaningful work that creates meaning out of chaos, and a genuine expression of solidarity and humanity. Digitization and artificial intelligence will never be able to replace genuine human contact in nursing homes, schools, hospitals, ... everywhere where human relations are woven. There is a place for volunteers and volunteers. With their work, they most directly change the world for the better – they are good in a world in which there is too much bad. You are therefore kindly invited to this year's day for change, where we will choose solidarity and humanity and say to the dark forces: give us peace.
V soboto, 11. aprila 2026, bo potekala vseslovenska prostovoljska akcija Dan za spremembe, na kateri se lahko vsak preizkusi v vlogi prostovoljca ali prostovoljke. V organizaciji Slovenske filantropije bo akcija že 17. leto zapored povezala organizacije, posameznike, šole in občine po vsej Sloveniji, tokrat pod sloganom Dajte nam mir.
Dan za spremembe je vsako leto obarvan tematsko in take so tudi akcije po Sloveniji. Letos smo izbrali slogan Dajte nam mir, saj prav miru na vseh ravneh zelo primanjkuje. S sloganom vas želimo povabiti, da združeni v veliko prostovoljsko družino soustvarjamo, zahtevamo in začutimo mir. Poudarjamo, da so vse prostovoljske akcije v svoji biti miroljubne in solidarne, saj svojo energijo usmerjajo v sobivanje in stran od konflikta.
Tako kot prejšnja leta bo tudi letos po Sloveniji potekal pester nabor različnih prostovoljskih akcij – od medgeneracijskih druženj, čistilnih akcij, izmenjevalnic, ustvarjalnih delavnic in drugih aktivnosti. Organiziranih bo več kot 150 prostovoljskih akcij, ki bodo potekale v 76 krajih po Sloveniji. Med organizatorji so društva, vrtci, šole, občine, javni zavodi in posamezniki_ce. Po vsej državi bo aktivnih okoli 410 organizacij in 14.500 prostovoljcev_k.
Direktor Slovenske filantropije Franci Zlatar pred Dnevom za spremembe sporoča: "Čas, v katerem živimo, je izrazito kaotičen, vendar je naša izbira, kako se bomo nanj odzvali. Lahko se prepustimo temnim silam, ki nas vlečejo v sovraštvo, vojne, nasprotovanja, ideološke boje in izolacijo, ali pa poskušamo prav iz tega kaosa ustvarjati smisel. Lahko izberemo egoizem, skrb zgolj zase in pohlep, ali pa izberemo solidarnost in človečnost. Prostovoljstvo je smiselno delo, ki iz kaosa ustvarja pomen, ter pristen izraz solidarnosti in človečnosti. Digitalizacija in umetna inteligenca ne bosta nikoli zmogli nadomestiti pristnega človeškega stika v domovih za starejše, šolah, bolnišnicah, ... povsod, kjer se tkejo medčloveški odnosi. Prav tu je prostor za prostovoljke in prostovoljce. S svojim delom najbolj neposredno spreminjajo svet na bolje – so dobro v svetu, v katerem je preveč slabega. Zato ste lepo vabljeni na letošnji Dan za spremembe, na katerem bomo izbrali solidarnosti in človečnosti in temnim silam rekli: dajte nam mir.
