Representatives of the Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., together with representatives of the Roma Youth Support Association, will participate in the event Improving the situation of young people in the local environment. The event will take place on 24 January in Ljubljana and is organised by the Slovenian Youth Office.

The Slovenian Youth Council, in cooperation with the Slovenian Youth Office, is organising an event on improving the situation of young people in your local area, which will take place on Thursday, 14 February 2019 from 10 am to 3 pm in the Great Hall of the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport in Ljubljana.

The aim of the event is to bring together different actors working to improve the situation of young people in a common meeting, as we believe that networking and informing each other is of paramount importance to achieve better results and impact in developing local youth policies and youth work and improving youth participation at local level.

The aim of the event is to present the results of the Growing Together and Participate Actively projects, as well as to present the activities of other organisations working on these issues and to highlight their views and experiences gained from their work. Through the event, we aim to contribute to the development of Slovenian municipalities.

Representatives of your municipality are invited to attend. You can register online no later than Friday 1 February 2019.
