WEEK OF AMATEUR CULTURE
The Pan-Slovenian week of amateur culture awards recognition to those that devote their energy and time to culture. The week of amateur culture is intended for raising public awareness about the extent, quality and positive effects of amateur culture on modern society. Through the week of amateur culture, Slovenia joins many other European countries in paying tribute to culture creators every year in the middle of May and in pointing out the importance, quality and massiveness of amateur culture in modern society. For half a decade now, Republic of Slovenia Public Fund for Cultural Activities (JSKD) has been organising the Pan-Slovenian Week of Amateur Culture (TLK) in co-operation with the Association of Slovenian Cultural Organisations (ZSKD). The week of amateur culture contributes to a more open and friendly society. Everyone whose indispensable part of life consists of creativity and culture is invited to help create the programme. The TLK programme covers all genres of art, includes all ages and ethnic groups and takes place throughout the entire Slovenian cultural space. Every year, the fund invites all local societies, cultural societies, associations and institutes, ethnic groups that live in Slovenia, individuals and educational and cultural institutions to participate in the Pan-Slovenian project through their programmes. The project has guaranteed media sponsors (Radio-Television Slovenia, MMC); the PR department of JSKD takes care of publicity about all major included projects. The project is traditionally supported by the SAZAS association. There are over 1,000 cultural events all over the country during the week of amateur culture. Cultural workers broadly present their quality projects.
