The Association of the Friends of Moderate Progress was established in 1990 as the promoter of self-organised alternative culture in Slovenia. It founded the MKC Koper Youth and Culture Centre in Koper-Capodistria in 1991, and during the last decade a programme of so-called 'permanent social experiment - an oasis of diverse human relations' - has been devised and developed for the Association by performer and alternative musician Marko Brecelj and cultural activist Arijana Markučič.

The association's 20th anniversary was celebrated with an exhibition of its rich archive and a multimedia event at the Španski borci Culture Centre, Ljubljana in 2010.


Publishing

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.

Activities and programme

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.
