Project Summary:

the Morigenos Academy project addresses two interrelated challenges:

(a) The need for effective protection of marine ecosystems in Slovenia, which requires a holistic approach, including education and collaboration among various stakeholders.
(b) The lack of opportunities for personal and professional development for youth in Piran, especially in the winter months when the town is empty and activities are scarce.

The main goal of Morigenos Academy is to improve the lives of young people in Piran by offering educational and socially beneficial activities that promote active citizenship and awareness of the importance of natural resource conservation. The project includes various activities, such as educational workshops, meetings, and debates, aimed at encouraging young people to take an active role in their community and to better manage marine ecosystems and the environment as a whole. Morigenos Academy will carry out diverse activities, including educational meetings, mentoring, workshops on environmental and social issues, and collaboration with local institutions.

The project will provide 16 meetings to offer young people opportunities for learning, social skill development, and active participation in the local environment.
