People Celebrating

In 2012, Skuhna, a current member of the Anna Lindh Foundation in Slovenia, started their journey as a restaurant and a social enterprise led by migrants who live in Ljubljana to enhance open and intercultural societies through culinary arts, arts and cultural workshops.

Skuhna has always been located on Trubarjeva street in Ljubljana, which is a well-known street with its diversity. Sadly, due to gentrification and as tenants  Skuhna left Trubarjeva street in January 2023 with the increase in renting prices with the change of the owner. Skuhna had its two final events on 20 and 23 of January 2023; with great food and music workshops, Skuhna laid its intercultural and artistic legacy on Trubarjeva street in Ljubljana to move forward. 

Stay tuned and follow Skuhna's Facebook page and website to know more about their activities and a new location in the future. 

Skuhna often enriched our meetings with its rich and intercultural culinary.

Young People and Photography activities indoor

PiNA and the Koper Youth Center are hosting five young people who live in different EU countries in the city of Koper for an internship on multimedia as part of the European Solidarity Corps program.

International volunteering programs aim to offer young people the opportunity to acquire competencies, relevant knowledge and skills that can support them in their life and career path.

It was with this purpose in mind that PiNA organized training with the photographer and trainer Aleš Rosa, where, in addition to theory, the volunteers gained new knowledge in the field of event photography, camera use, and what is the key to good photography.

The volunteers had the opportunity several times a week to try their skills at photographing events, named "Matching Moments and Memories" organized by PiNA and Koper Youth Center, thereby testing themselves in the role of photographers. And they enjoy it a lot.📸

The workshop was very interesting and educational at the same time. Thanks also to Aleš Rosa a trainer who passed on important and useful knowledge and taught the participants how to use the camera conveniently.
