The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., organises a screening of films in Maribor, in the framework 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 among young viewers and providing a platform for a multicultural approach to the Green Agenda. We have already successfully implemented the project in the 2022-2024 period, involving almost 5,000 young people in film events organised in seven Slovenian cities and thousands more in the streaming part of the programme. We are continuing the project in 2024 and 2026. In the current project, we have set ourselves the target of 23 additional screenings across Slovenia and online participation via www.euyc.green.

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