The ProstoRož association sprung into life in 2004 as a spontaneous answer to our desire to explore and understand open city space.
It is a continuous project of public space cultivation, its goal developing a method of reviving and arranging of the degraded urban spaces. In doing this, we believe in joint efforts of experts from various fields.
ProstoRož explores, examines and opens new possibilities of public space use in accordance with the needs of its inhabitants and tries to reveal how sometimes minimal means and small interventions are enough to present the city’s inhabitants and visitors with pleasant open spaces. Our interventions are not mere artistic installations but also in-depth searching for new city planning options of space use. We believe that in applying the appropriate approach to space planning as well as appropriate contents the amount of various forms of vandalism in public areas can be reduced.

ROZANA Association is Slovenian non-profit organization, established in 2009. Our mission is to promote cross-cultural awareness and fellowship between people in the Arab and Slovene culture through the cultures, arts and education.
As bilingual and bicultural educators, performers and musicians, we believe the best way to break down invisible cultural barriers is to bring people face-to-face with the most intimate and expressive components of each other’s cultures. Through the arts we are able to foster genuine understanding, respect, and appreciation between the diverse cultures of the world.
The Rozana Association benefits from a number of voluntary Arabs and Slovene advisers on dealings with Arabs and Slovenian institutions and audiences. These are friends of Arabs and Slovenia, private or public persons from various institutions who have supported the Centre in its endeavours by encouraging us to bring new ideas to life.
Rozana Center, besides the cultural activities implied by the name, also plays an active part in the social life of the Arabian community in Slovenia.
Generally, we organise informal meetings, where guests can come and have a good time in the company of their fellow Arabs. The events are open to all, regardless of nationality. Sometimes, the audience have to pay for the admission at the events but The Centre strives to keep the costs low, despite, at times, not breaking even.
