We invite you to join the group of young people who will be trained to detect their super powers and external opportunities. Beside personal development we will teach you all about realization of ideas and project development. On the way we will meet individuals who already Ljubljana enriched with their ideas, knowledge and good work. We address them agents of change.
Together, we wish to create an incubator of urban life quality, which will become a platform of education, support and realization of local initiatives.
Why? Because the future is created by citizens. We wish to increase the number of proactive young people in Ljubljana, who are spreading the virus of positive inquiries and successful experience of realization of own ideas.
Currently, our project is named the Partnership for a Green Ljubljana because we want positive changes in the year, when Ljubljana bears the title of European Green Capital under the slogan: LJUBLJANA. For You. Together with you, young people, and through the project cycle we will create our new name.
We invite young people:
- up to 29 years old;
- unemployed (not to be registered at the Employment Service);
- with an interest to rise the quality of life in Ljubljana;
