General Information
Zavod Global (Global Institute) was established in Ljubljana, Slovenia in 2010 to address issues of global learning, intercultural education and development.  The Global Institute’s role is to attempt to provide an alternative non-Eurocentric perspective to issues dealt with in the field of global learning. The purpose of the Institute is to bring together better understanding of people in Slovenia/Europe with people in the Global South. The Institute has a 3 member Council, a Director and as of December 31st, 2014, 5 employees. It is a member of the SLOGA NGO platform and collaborates very strongly with partners like Zavod Voluntariat and Društvo Baobab. Since its inception Global Institute has implemented about 25 projects funded by the Slovenian Government, Municipalities of Ljubljana and Škofja Loka and the European Social Fund. Currently, we are implementing a social-business project Skuhna for which most of the funding is now generated out of the business.    
Mission and Objectives

The mission of Global Institute Slovenia is to channel, exchange and provide quality information on the global South (Africa, Asia, South and Central America) to the Slovenian and European space with migrants themselves being at the forefront. We strive for equal opportunities and participation in Slovenian/European society of migrant communities taking into account their specific knowledge and skills.
All the activities of Global Institute Slovenia are geared towards the empowerment of migrant society in Slovenia from the Global South. From our strong links with migrants (facilitated by the fact that the organization was founded by a migrant), we came to the conclusion that  they face immense difficulties in entering the labor market, as they often do not know the language, cultural specifics, and do not have  a wide social network. Some of them are not aware of their basic labour rights and their skills and knowledge goes unrecognized. They are also victims of institutional or covert racism.
Our activities are hence geared towards  integrating migrants into the labour market while at the same time spreading more balanced information about non-Western cultures. This is why we strive to create a space for action-oriented global citizens with strong critical thinking abilities

Main Projects / Activities

1. Skuhna – World Cuisine the Slovenian Way
Skuhna is a social business model project aimed at increasing the employability and employment of migrants from the Global South via culinary activities. Skuhna is a 3 year project ending in 2015 funded by the Slovenian Ministry of Labour and the European Social Fund.
In the context of the project Skuhna, we generate 3 direct income activities:
Culinary workshops, restaurant, and intercultural catering.
We empower migrants and refugees from the Global South by creating jobs and working opportunities for them. We currently employ 4 immigrants or refugees in our activities and offer contractual employment to at least 10 others.
The general public in Slovenia has a chance to “travel” and “discover secrets” of the world without ever actually leaving Slovenia. They widen their horizons with quality information about other cultures, which is a step in the right direction to a more just and tolerant society.
Through the project Skuhna we are addressing various challenges:
- GREAT INCIDENCE OF STEREOTYPES AND PREJUDICES AGAINST NON-EUROPEAN CULTURES AND THE LACK OF QUALITY INFORMATION TO CHALLENGE THE STEREOTYPES
HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT OF IMMIGRANTS:
- EXPLOITATION OF IMMIGRANTS WORKFORCE:
- DRAWBACKS FACED BY IMIGRANTS IN ENTERING THE LABOUR MARKET:
- BARRIERS BETWEEN IMMIGRANTS AND THE LOCAL POPULATION (SOCIAL EXCLUSION):
- UNHEARD VOICE OF IMMIGRANTS:
- LACK OF OPPORTNUNITIES FOR VOLUNTEER WORK
 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

As the Global Institute is strong in the fields of global education, especially  intercultural education and migration, we believe we can contribute by sharing best practises with other NGOs and also through awareness-raising campaigns  and  research initiatives. These are all conditioned by the needs of the network

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe the network will provide us with a platform to reach a wider audience while also being an umbrella though which we can together address common issues - which are many. We would also like to benefit through sharing from members of the network who have for long years been doing great work
