In May, we will hold a lecture and workshop as part of our lecture series on the topic “Circularity in the Household: Small Habits for Big Changes.” These address the necessary changes in residents’ lifestyles to achieve climate neutrality, adapt to climate change, and mitigate its negative effects. After all, every single individual bears responsibility—and deserves credit—for achieving these goals and improving living conditions.

Steps That Count: Sustainable Mobility for a Better Tomorrow

On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m ., we’ll meet in Velenje at the Planet Generacij+ Multigenerational Center (Center Nova, 2nd floor). We will discuss current transportation trends in Slovenia and the impact of transportation on people’s health. Special emphasis will be placed on the importance of active mobility for health and quality of life, and we’ll also present the concept of the “15-minute city,” the specifics of the local environment, and opportunities for actively involving residents in transportation policy planning.

The second part will present concrete steps for individuals and communities: the importance of children walking to school, sustainable options for commuting to work, carpooling opportunities, and the public transit system in Slovenia. Participants will try out online platforms that help them choose the most appropriate mode of transportation, plan activities using public transit, and calculate the actual costs of using a personal car. The lecture and workshop will be led by Špela Berlot Veselko from the Alpine Conservation Association, CIPRA Slovenia. We are organizing this event in collaboration with the Planet Generations+ Multigenerational Center.
