The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., is organizing a film screening in Novo Mesto, as part of the EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal (EUYC:GD 2024-2026).
EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal is an innovative project dedicated to sustainable Europe, which presents the green goals of the European Union in a film context and contributes to the appreciation and understanding of the EU Green Deal, mainly among young viewers, and provides a platform for a multicultural approach to the green agenda. We successfully implemented the project in the period 2022-2024, in which we included almost 5,000 young people in film events in seven Slovenian cities and several thousand others in the streaming part of the program. We are continuing the project in the years 2024-2026, within which we have set an additional 23 screenings across Slovenia and online cooperation via the website www.euyc.green.
EUYC:GD 2024-2026 is actively co-created by the same four partners who were behind the success of the previous edition 2022-2024 EUYC:GD: LET’S CEE Filmfestival Association and Communication Consulting Agency Chapter 4 from Austria, Scientific Research Association for Arts, Cultural and Educational Programs and Technology EPEKA from Slovenia and 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.
