The EPEKA Association is organizing a film screening in Koper 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, which presents the green goals of the European Union in a cinematic context and contributes to the appreciation and understanding of the EU Green Deal, mainly among young audiences, while providing a platform for a multicultural approach to the green agenda. We successfully implemented the project in the period 2022–2024, involving almost 5,000 young people in film events in seven Slovenian cities and several thousand others in the program’s streaming section. We are continuing the project in 2024–2026, with an additional 23 screenings across Slovenia and online engagement via the website www.euyc.green.

EUYC:GD 2024-2026 will be actively co-created by the same four partners who are already behind the success of the previous edition 2022-2024 EUYC:GD: The LET’S CEE Film Festival Association and the communications consulting agency Chapter 4 from Austria, the Scientific Research Association for Art, Cultural and Educational Programs and Technology EPEKA from Slovenia, and the Go Green Skopje Association from North Macedonia. A new partner in the group is the Ukrainian non-governmental organization INNOVATION GENERATION, which will launch the Ukrainian edition of EUYC:GD.
