The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent.,. is organising a screening of films in Celje as part of the EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal (EUYC:GD 2024-2026).

EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal is an innovative project dedicated to a sustainable Europe, presenting the European Union’ s green objectives in a cinematic context, contributing to the appreciation and understanding of the EU Green Deal, mainly among young viewers, and providing a platform for a multicultural approach to the Green Agenda. We have successfully implemented the project in the period 2022-2024, involving almost 5,000 young people in film events in seven Slovenian cities and thousands more in the streaming part of the programme. We are continuing the project in 2024-2026, with a further 23 screenings across Slovenia and online engagement through www.euyc.green.

EUYC:GD 2024-2026 will be actively co-created by the same four partners already behind the success of the previous edition 2022-2024 of EUYC:GD: LET’S CEE Filmfestival Association and communication consultancy agency Chapter 4 from Austria, the Scientific Research Association for Arts, Cultural and Educational Programmes and Technology EPEKA from Slovenia and the Go Green Skopje Association from North Macedonia. A new partner in the group is the Ukrainian NGO INNOVATION GENERATION, which will launch the Ukrainian edition of EUYC:GD.

GUEST:

The guest of the event will be Gregor Deleja, Director of the Municipal Administration of the Municipality of Celje, a long-time educator, initiator of numerous socially responsible projects and former headmaster of the Celje-Centre Gymnasium. In his work, he pays special attention to young people, inclusion, culture and sustainable development. With his knowledge, experience and positive energy, he makes an important contribution to thinking about how we as individuals and communities can co-create a more just and environmentally friendly future. We look forward to hearing from him at the film screening, which encourages young people to actively respond to climate change.
