What do you do?
I am the programme manager of the Festival of Youth Culture Kunigunda. I also work on other programmes and projects, most of which involve cultural and educational activities, and sometimes entertainment and international ones as well. I particularly enjoy helping young, enthusiastic, and motivated programmers realize their projects, although, in reality, I spend most of my time in front of a computer preparing calls for proposals, descriptions, plans, etc.
My favourite memories from childhood and youth are related to skiing and eMCe plac. Skiing, which I trained in primary school, had the most significant impact on me during my childhood. Later on, I began to discover the charms of culture in the broadest sense. Hanging out with friends at eMCe plac quickly offered the opportunity for active participation in youth organizations here and in Ljubljana, where I studied. I am prouder of some youthful adventures than others, but I have no regrets, as the combination of everything led me to where I am today. We always knew how to make it fun, so fun that I'd rather not share how much 😉. I'm proof that in your youth, you can be crazy, have fun, travel, do silly things, try something new all the time, and still successfully complete formal education and start gaining work experience, informal knowledge, competencies, references, and ultimately a rich social network.
My first associations with youth are madness in the sense of letting loose in the "freest" period of life, seizing diverse opportunities, trying out different roles and tasks, doing something stupid, and having fun. Then, opportunity in terms of investments in youth that can bloom upon entering adulthood, even though you make some mistakes, and go crazy in your free time, but at the same time, manage to finish college, acquire informal knowledge, references, and competencies relevant to you, and be considered reliable and responsible when it comes to work. And eMCe plac, because if you know how to take advantage of the opportunities offered here, anything can happen.
The time I spent my youth in was still a bit nicer than today.
The time young people live in today is quite terrible, sadly.
From that time, I miss freedom.
With friends, I liked doing silly things during gatherings so we were never bored. Fortunately, my best friends are still the ones I met in my youth (mostly in eMCe), and although we no longer have as much energy for craziness, we haven't completely given it up. Maybe I have too high expectations of myself and the people around me, but I'm convinced that people are too quickly satisfied, and that prevents or complicates achieving goals and pursuing dreams.
Today, I keep myself young by working with young people.
Today, I would tell my younger self to stand up for myself, for my rights, for everything that means something to me, and that good deeds and investments in the future really do pay off.
What I like most about working with young people is their curiosity, and self-initiative, they ask questions, marvel, suggest novelties and improvements, are not afraid of opportunities, think for themselves, stand by their actions, and do not avoid responsibility.
