HI Slovenia is based in Maribor where it has its main office and has more than 40 Youth Hostels spread all over Slovenia. Hostels are very different but all of them work with young people and for share the HI mission:
»To promote the education of all young people of all nations, but especially young people of limited means, by encouraging in them a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside and an appreciation of the cultural values of towns and cities in all parts of the world, and as ancillary thereto, to provide hostels or other accommodation in which there shall be no distinctions of race, nationality, colour, religion, s*x, class or political opinions and thereby to develop a better understanding of their fellow men, both at home and abroad.«
HI Slovenia is a leading organisation stimulating youth mobility through youth travel and youth hostels. We try to show travelling as a way of non-formal learning to gain more experiences for the future life. We are very proud of our volunteer programme, which we upgraded in 2016.
