The Association EPEKA , a social enterprise, the Pri Baronu Tourist and Eco Farm and the Povod Institute, a social enterprise, are organising an educational and promotional event within the framework of the project “Farm – a place of diversity”. Everyone who is interested in permaculture, organic farming, self-sufficiency, social inclusion and farm work is invited to participate.

Event programme:

  • 10.00 Meeting of participants and presentation of the farm
  • 10.05 – 14.00 Education, training and work on the farm
  • 14.00 – 15.00 Lunch
  • 15.00 – 17.00 Free afternoon, wine tasting and networking
  • 17.00 – 20.00 Continuation of education, training and work

The project Farm – a space of diversity aims to increase the capacity of agricultural holdings to work with vulnerable groups with a view to their social activation and faster reintegration into society and the labour market. In this context, the intergenerational component will also be emphasised, as well as educational approaches that allow the transfer of knowledge between all participants and also between educators. The latter will have, for the farms involved and other farms that decide to carry out such activities, mainly social benefits with the possibility of secondary economic benefits.

The Sustainable Europe for All programme aims to promote sustainable ways of living, working and living and to promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the so-called Agenda 2030. The project is also being implemented in cooperation with the Pri Kovačniku Farm and the Drankovec Farm.
