One of the main association's concerns is the invention of immediate media. It engaged in comic art activities involving various local authors and published their work in the photocopied Klarinet newsletter and in the so-called Stripzid comic poster series which announced various events.
Since 2004 the Association of the Friends of Moderate Progress publishes online news on the MKC Koper Youth and Culture Centre activities on a daily basis. The blog forms part of the non-government sector's information and discussion forum at Dodogovor.org.
The Association fosters creative work and the development of independent critical thinking, and offers room for counter cultures, educational initiatives, ecology and sport. It is also involved in anti-fascist and anti-clerical activism and civil disobedience acts, which have developed in a specific format of the so-called Soft Terrorism (Mehki terorizem). Most of these actions are recorded and later feature as video documents (e.g. Cottonssination [Vatentat] from 2003 or The Plums are Ripe [Slive so zrele], 2009).
At MKC Koper Youth and Culture Centre DPZN organises and co-ordinates public alternative cultural programmes, including the Koperground Festival. It also collects and distributes information on education, employment, leisure activities and culture for the growing youth and adult population, especially focussing on marginal groups of society.
The Association of the Friends of Moderate Progress holds a rich alternative archive mostly comprised of the documentation linked to the MKC Koper Youth and Culture Centre activities. Some of the publications have been already included in the International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana permanent collection and in 2009 the association exhibited the archives for the first time in the Koper Regional Museum.
Culture.si offers information on Slovene cultural producers, venues, festivals and support services, all in one place. It encourages international cultural exchange in the fields of arts, culture and heritage. The portal and its content is owned and funded by the Ministry of Culture, funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Plan and developed by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory.
