Ustvarjalna Evropa v Sloveniji: Pionirski dom na poti poguma, učenja in zaupanja
updated 6 hours ago
V zaključnem obdobju Ustvarjalne Evrope (2021–2027) in v času, ko se na evropski ravni oblikuje nov program financiranja za kulturne in ustvarjalne sektorje, AgoraEU, je pravi trenutek, da se ozremo nazaj na izkušnje, dosežke in premike, ki jih je mednarodno sodelovanje v evropskih projektih omogočilo slovenskim organizacijam. Ambasadorji Ustvarjalne Evrope, ki prihajajo iz različnih organizacij in ustvarjalnih sektorjev, vendar jim je skupno aktivno udejstvovanje v mednarodnem prostoru, so z nami delili svoje bogate izkušnje in poglede. Raznoliki prispevki osvetljujejo specifične poti organizacij, hkrati pa razodevajo globlje vpoglede v razvoj umetniških praks, institucionalnih modelov in kulturnega ekosistema v Sloveniji.
Urša Strehar Benčina in Bjanka Kršmanc v svojem prispevku osvetljujeta, kako je Pionirski dom z vztrajnostjo, samoevalvacijo in razvijanjem tesnih in zanesljivih odnosov vstopal v mednarodni prostor. Njuna izkušnja poudarja pomen dolgoročnih partnerstev pri razvoju organizacije. Vabljeni k branju njunega prispevka, zapise drugih ambasadorjev pa lahko preberete tukaj.

In the final period of Creative Europe (2021–2027), as the new funding programme for the cultural and creative sectors – AgoraEU – is being shaped at the European level, this is an opportune moment to reflect on the experiences, achievements, and shifts that international collaboration in European projects has brought to Slovenian organisations. The Creative Europe Ambassadors, coming from various organisations and creative sectors but united by their commitment to active engagement in the international arena, have generously shared their extensive experience and perspectives. These varied contributions highlight the specific trajectories of individual organisations while also offering deeper insights into the development of artistic practices, institutional models, and the cultural ecosystem in Slovenia.

Pionirski dom Youth Culture Centre
updated 7 hours ago
The locus of Pionirski dom's activities is very straightforward – educating children and youth in matters of culture and creativity. However, its scope is rather fascinating and ranges from music, theatre and film education (often engaging well-respected Slovenian artists) to courses in foreign languages and cultural activities. Additionally, it runs two smaller venues in the city centre – the Art Centre (used for visual arts workshops and for smaller exhibitions) and the Jenko Dance Centre.
Pionirski dom is based just outside the city centre, in a striking semicircular building (partially) designed by Jože Plečnik. It also manages the Festival Hall, located in the same building and available for various cultural events or for business and congress purposes.
