The At the School of Open Cohesion is a pilot project, launched in Slovenia on the initiative of the European Commission. The project aims to actively involve young people in the implementation of Cohesion Policy in Slovenia. It is an innovative interdisciplinary programme designed for all types of secondary schools. The programme combines civic education, digital and statistical skills, data journalism, and horizontal skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. It is an excellent way of complementing the regular educational programme in secondary schools.
The project was piloted in the 2023/2024 school year, with eight secondary schools participating. The project has been a success , attracting numerous students, teachers, and members of the general public. This is why we will continue the project in the 2024/2025 school year. 11 secondary schools and 14 student teams participated.
You are invited to participate in the 2025/26 school year.
