Pionirski dom-Center for youth culture participated in the creation of the new post of Slovenia casual brand, so we are 29. in January, in the Art Center prepared a gala event with creative workshops and the opening of the exhibition of youth Philatelic exhibits. Those present were greeted by Mateja Demsic, head of the Department of culture of the city of Ljubljana. The event was also accompanied with speeches by the director of the Pioneer House Barbara Murn Vrviscar, representative of the Cabinet of management and corporate communication of the post of Slovenia mag. Simona Koser Shavora and Bojan Bracic, president of the Philatelic Association of Slovenia. The motive for the stamp from the Love series is the work of the student of the painting activity, and the new greeting stamp will be in postal circulation from 30. January this year. The edition was accompanied by a special postcard with a sketch of the motif, which the sender can draw and supplement according to his own imagination.
When analog disappears, we want to keep a personal trace
At a time when analogical habits are disappearing from our everyday life and when we hardly write more Letters, the unique charm of handwriting is also lost. Writing was once an act of mindfulness; we chose words, took the time to write down the thought carefully, and thereby donated a part of ourselves to the person to whom we addressed the text. Today, most of the communication is typed instantly, on the screen, without the personal touch that a handwritten word has. At the Pioneer home, we believe that it is because of everything that disappears that analog becomes even more valuable. Therefore, we strive to preserve traditions that return us to authenticity and attention to others.
The meaning of the postage stamp: the smallest bearer of a great heritage
A postage stamp is not only a technical means of payment for sending letters. It is the smallest visual unit that represents the country, its identity, creativity and historical moment. It is a cultural document that preserves the material and intangible heritage; from fine art and design to language, symbols and stories that we want to convey to future generations.
Therefore, it is extremely important that the future Slovenian brand will bear the image of the young creator Niko Stefet , who attends the painting program at the Pionirski Dom. On a small surface, a big story will reflect: a story of love, youth, talent, art and respect for a creative future. Mag. Simona Koser Shavora added: "The Casual postage stamp of the Love series , which is traditionally issued in January, is also special and symbolic because of the recognizable heart shape. This year's Edition brings extra freshness, because it was entirely inspired by children's imagination. The motive is the work of a young creator, selected in a competition conducted in cooperation with the Pioneer Home. I am delighted that we have allowed children to capture their interpretation of love in a miniature work of art that will travel the world. We believe that the brand will delight consignees and enrich Philatelic collections.«
Tribute to children's and youth art
The selection of illustrations by our student is an important recognition of children's and youth creativity and confirms that the artistic expression of young people has its place among the symbols of Slovenian identity. "At the Pioneer home, we believe that children and young people are indispensable co-creators of culture. That is why it was crucial that they also participated in the design of our brand, because their gaze, sensitivity and creativity go beyond age limits. When we entrust them with a place in symbols of common identity, such as the national postage stamp, we clearly convey to them that they are heard, seen and that they are co-creating the future," emphasized Barbara Murn Vrpishcar.
We send a postcard to the world of love
On the occasion of the release of the Pioneer Home brand, we prepared special postcards. We went one step further, because on them there is a line sketch of the motive of the stamp illustration, which the sender himself draws, paints or complements according to his imagination. This creates a personal, manually created message, designed with the addressee in mind. Postcards will be available for free at Pioneer Home events and activities as an invitation to take a moment again for a handwritten thought.
Take a postcard, write a thought and send it to a dear person. Let the tiny work of art of the young creator from the Pioneer Home travel to the hearts of people, reminding that something most intimate sometimes arises from a simple handwritten word.
Philately: a leisure activity that connects
Philately is a collecting and research activity dealing with postage stamps and everything related to postal traffic. Bojan Bracic added that " it is more than 180 years old and appeared already in May 1840 using the first postage stamps. The term Philately, which in simplified translation means love for postage stamps, was introduced soon after its creation by the Frenchman Harpen and is considered the best organized collecting activity in the world."Although it deals with the smallest paper documents of history, it evokes the greatest values in people: communication, creativity, curiosity and respect for cultural heritage . Her special strength lies in the fact that she teaches us to look wider. Love for brands transcends nationality, religion , language and other boundaries that often divide society. It connects collectors, artists, children and adults in a community that honors curiosity, beauty and stories.
Event for the release of the brand
The release of the Pioneer Home brand was accompanied by a gala event , which was marked by the award ceremony of the author of the winning illustration, the opening of the exhibition and creative workshops, in which young visitors drew their postcard and explored the world of philately.
Exhibition of youth Philatelic exhibits
On this occasion , The Art Center of the Pionirski Dom also hosts an exhibition of youth Philatelic exhibits of the Philatelic circle I. Primary School, which will be on display until 12. March this year . The exhibition reveals the young people's view of philately as an interweaving of tradition, art, research and personal stories.
You are invited to celebrate with us, write down a thought and send a postcard, and to preserve the charm of writing by hand together. Let us honor together the artistic voice of children and young people, who will from now on travel around the world as part of the Slovenian postal and cultural heritage.
Pionirski dom – Center za kulturo mladih je sodeloval pri nastanku nove priložnostne znamke Pošte Slovenije, zato smo 29. januarja, v Art centru pripravili slavnostni dogodek z ustvarjalnimi delavnicami in odprtje razstave mladinskih filatelističnih eksponatov. Navzoče je pozdravila Mateja Demšič, vodja Oddelka za kulturo Mestne občine Ljubljana. Dogodek so z nagovori pospremili tudi direktorica Pionirskega doma Barbara Murn Vrviščar, predstavnica Kabineta poslovodstva in korporativnega komuniciranja Pošte Slovenije mag. Simona Koser Šavora ter Bojan Bračič, predsednik Filatelistične zveze Slovenije. Motiv za znamko iz serije Ljubezen je delo tečajnika slikarske dejavnosti, nova voščilna znamka pa bo v poštnem obtoku od 30. januarja letos. Izdajo smo pospremili še s posebno razglednico s skico motiva, ki jo pošiljatelj lahko doriše in dopolni po lastni domišljiji.
Ko analogno izginja, želimo ohraniti osebno sled
V času, ko iz našega vsakdana izginjajo analogne navade in ko skorajda ne pišemo več pisem, se izgublja tudi edinstveni čar rokopisa. Pisanje je bilo nekoč dejanje pozornosti; izbirali smo besede, si vzeli čas, da smo misel skrbno zapisali, in s tem podarili del sebe osebi, na katero smo naslovili besedilo. Danes večino komunikacije natipkamo v trenutku, na ekranu, brez osebnega dotika, ki ga ima ročno napisana beseda. V Pionirskem domu verjamemo, da prav zaradi vsega, kar izginja, postaja analogno še bolj dragoceno. Zato si prizadevamo ohranjati tradicijo, ki nas vrača k pristnosti in pozornosti do drugih.
Pomen poštne znamke: najmanjša nosilka velike dediščine
Poštna znamka ni le tehnično plačilno sredstvo za pošiljanje pisem. Je najmanjša vizualna enota, ki predstavlja državo , njeno identiteto, ustvarjalnost in zgodovinski trenutek. Je kulturološki dokument , ki ohranja snovno in nesnovno dediščino; od likovne umetnosti in oblikovanja do jezika, simbolov in zgodb, ki jih želimo posredovati prihodnjim generacijam.
Zato je izjemno pomembno, da bo prihodnja slovenska znamka nosila podobo mladega ustvarjalca Nika Štefeta , ki obiskuje program slikarstvo v Pionirskem domu. Na majhni površini bo odsevala velika zgodba: zgodba ljubezni, mladosti, talenta, umetnosti in spoštovanja do ustvarjalne prihodnosti. Mag. Simona Koser Šavora je dodala: » Priložnostna poštna znamka serije Ljubezen , ki jo tradicionalno izdamo januarja, je posebna in simbolična tudi zaradi prepoznavne oblike srca. Letošnja izdaja prinaša dodatno svežino, saj jo je v celoti navdihnila otroška domišljija. Motiv je delo mladega ustvarjalca, izbranega na natečaju, izvedenem v sodelovanju s Pionirskim domom. Veseli me, da smo otrokom omogočili, da svojo interpretacijo ljubezni ujamejo v miniaturno umetnino, ki bo potovala po svetu. Verjamemo, da bo znamka razveseljevala prejemnike pošiljk in bogatila filatelistične zbirke.«
Poklon otroški in mladinski umetnosti
Izbor ilustracije našega tečajnika je pomembno priznanje otroški in mladinski ustvarjalnosti ter potrjuje, da ima umetniški izraz mladih svoj prostor med simboli slovenske identitete. »V Pionirskem domu menimo, da so otroci in mladi nepogrešljivi soustvarjalci kulture. Zato je bilo ključno, da so sodelovali tudi pri oblikovanju naše znamke, saj njihov pogled, občutljivost in ustvarjalnost presegajo starostne okvire. Ko jim zaupamo prostor v simbolih skupne identitete, kot je državna poštna znamka, jim jasno sporočamo, da so slišani, videni in da soustvarjajo prihodnost,« je poudarila Barbara Murn Vrviščar.
Z razglednico pošiljamo v svet ljubezen
Ob izidu znamke Pionirskega doma smo pripravili posebne razglednice. Šli smo še korak dlje, saj je na njih črtna skica motiva ilustracije znamke, ki ga pošiljatelj sam doriše, pobarva ali dopolni po svoji domišljiji. Tako nastane osebno, ročno ustvarjeno sporočilo, oblikovano z mislijo na naslovnika. Razglednice bodo brezplačno na voljo na dogodkih in dejavnostih Pionirskega doma kot povabilo, da si znova vzamemo trenutek za ročno napisano misel.
Vzemite razglednico, napišite misel in jo pošljite dragi osebi. Naj drobna umetnina mladega ustvarjalca iz Pionirskega doma potuje v srca ljudi in opominja, da nekaj najbolj intimnega včasih nastane iz preproste ročno zapisane besede.
Filatelija: prostočasna dejavnost, ki povezuje
Filatelija je zbirateljska in raziskovalna dejavnost, ki se ukvarja s poštnimi znamkami in vsem, kar je povezano s poštnim prometom. Bojan Bračič je dodal da »je stara več kot 180 let in se je pojavila že maja 1840 z uporabo prvih poštnih znamk. Izraz filatelija, ki v poenostavljenem prevodu pomeni ljubezen do poštnih znamk, je kmalu po njenem nastanku uvedel Francoz Harpen in velja za najbolje organizirano zbirateljsko dejavnost na svetu.« Čeprav se ukvarja z najmanjšimi papirnatimi dokumenti zgodovine, v ljudeh vzbuja največje vrednote: komunikacijo, ustvarjalnost, radovednost in spoštovanje do kulturne dediščine . Njena posebna moč je v tem, da nas uči gledati širše. Ljubezen do znamk presega nacionalnost, veroizpoved, jezik in druge meje , ki pogosto razdvajajo družbo. Zbiratelje, umetnike, otroke in odrasle povezuje v skupnosti, ki časti radovednost, lepoto in zgodbe.
Slavnostni dogodek ob izidu znamke
Izdajo znamke Pionirskega doma smo pospremili s slavnostnim dogodkom , ki so ga zaznamovali podelitev priznanj avtorju zmagovalne ilustracije, odprtje razstave in ustvarjalne delavnice, v katerih so mladi obiskovalci dorisali svojo razglednico in raziskovali svet filatelije.
Razstava mladinskih filatelističnih eksponatov
Ob tej priložnosti v Art centru Pionirskega doma gostimo tudi razstavo mladinskih filatelističnih eksponatov filatelističnega krožka I. OŠ Žalec , ki bo na ogled do 12. marca letos . Razstava razkriva pogled mladih na filatelijo kot preplet tradicije, umetnosti, raziskovanja in osebnih zgodb.
Vabljeni, da praznujete z nami, zapišete misel in pošljete razglednico ter da skupaj ohranimo čar pisanja na roko. Počastimo skupaj umetniški glas otrok in mladih, ki bo odslej potoval po svetu kot del slovenske poštne in kulturne dediščine.
