Instagram. You can find everything there. Our Instagram strives to be educational, but also funny. “Sedmke” are our weekly reports on world events (in understandable language), “Kulinarika” are our analyses of series related to diplomacy, and “Pink Majk” are our “street interviews.” As we said, you can find everything there.

(in collab with the House of the EU)

Before elections, most non-governmental organizations immerse themselves in campaigns encouraging people to vote. In collaboration with the EP Office in Slovenia, we were interested in why people don’t vote in EU elections. The results are available here.
