Young students taking part in the At the School of Open Cohesion project have embarked on a dedicated research and monitoring mission with the goal of exploring local EU-funded projects. The At the School of Open Cohesion project aims to raise awareness of cohesion policy among young people. It deepens their understanding of how it works and affects local communities and serves as a platform for practical research. As part of the project, young participants have chosen EU-funded projects from different parts of Slovenia to discover and better understand the impacts of these investments on the ground.
Here are some of the projects the students have chosen to explore.

By promoting the Pomurje region, the project enhances the attractiveness of the destination. The students will discover how the project brings local actors together and how it fosters sustainable tourism. They will also find out how effective it is at that.
Development of the Intermediate Care Department of the Murska Sobota General Hospital
After the renovation of the intermediate care department, the Murska Sobota General Hospital will get modern facilities boasting advanced equipment and services for admitted patients who require prolonged non-acute health care. The students will discover how the project improves the quality of health services in the Pomurje region.
