Contact
M&KC Koper Youth and Culture Centre was established in 1991 by the Association of the Friends of Moderate Progress as a venue for alternative public cultural programmes.
Its large hall is a place for events, the Centre's Poslušalnica (in English: Listening Room) is open six hours each day. The Centre incorporates the Mensa Numero Due Gallery, which hosts regular exhibitions of conceptual works on paper (posters, comics, drawings, poetry) or photo exhibitions.
Programme
The Centre promotes cultural activities and collects and distributes information on education, employment, leisure activities and culture for the growing youth and adult population, especially focusing on marginal groups of society. Here the new rock and metal bands from Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina are presented regulary. Concerts are also organised by the Centre in other open-air venues in Koper or other towns. It co-operates with other Slovene clubs, eg AKD Izbruh from Kranj and KUD Rov from Železniki. M&KC artists and activists include: Igor Presl, Matej Kocjan (Koco), Ivan Volarič Feo, Dr. Mariaš, Franci Blašković, Nikolaj Kopejkin and Franjo Frančič.
