The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., and project partner ŠENT invite you to the 1st Social Activation Festival, which will take place on Wednesday, 25 August 2021 at Kampus, Pivovarniška ulica 6, Ljubljana. The programme will start at 10 am.

Social activation is aimed at the long-term unemployed and the temporarily unemployable. At the end of the six-month programme, we are organising the 1st Social Activation Festival, with participants from all over Slovenia. At the festival, we will share the results of our work with the interested general public and promote social activation as a soft way of returning individuals to society and re-entering the labour market.

A lot of work and effort has been put into the preparation of the festival by a wide group of individuals. We all have high hopes for the success of the festival. By taking part, you can help us achieve this goal. The Festival is organised by the SA participants and is the result of their work-learning project.
