General Information
The Slovenian Paneuropean Movement (SPM), founded in 1991, is a non-governmental organization fostering and spreading the idea of European unification and striving for putting it into effect. The organization is part of the International Paneuropean Union, aiming to unite similar movements throughout Europe. The idea was first born after World War I with the realization that war with its material and spiritual devastation had brought Europe to the edge of destruction and that war itself is a consequence of national egoism leading towards new catastrophes of global extent. World War II proved this prediction to be true. The activities of the SPG include organizing international conferences, round tables, seminars and publishing books. Through these activities, we have come to be seen as critical thinkers focusing on European affairs - from the past through the present to the future. SPM has following organization structure: Assembly, Management Board, Monitoring Committee and President. Main funding sources are project funds, membership fees and sponsor funds. Our main partners are other Paneuropean organizations accross the Europe, but are well cooperating with all NGOs and other entities that pursue the objective - strong, united and unified Europe.
Mission and Objectives

The mission of the Slovenian Paneuropean Movement is to contribute to united Europe as described in the Paneuropean manifesto of Richard Coudenhove Kalergi. It is essential that Europe becomes a strong and united global player and Paneurope can offer certain answers how to achieve this objective. Our main objective is raising awareness among the European citizens about the necessity of united, unified and strong Europe. By discussing different issues (e. g. international relations, regional policy, socio-economic development, policy development etc.) with civil society, policy-makers, decision-makers, academia and experts, we offer an open space for exchange of ideas, good practices and knowledge. We give an emphasis on educating and empowering the youth, since they are the pillars of the future European structure.

Main Projects / Activities

Our activities can be devided in four main categories:
1. Project related activities
2. International conferences
3. Small scale events (e. g. round tables, seminars, open discussions with guest speakers etc.)
4. Publishing
Our activities are described in details on our main website www.panevropa.si and project website www.euforeignpolicy.eu.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Slovenian Paneuropean Movement has extensive knowledge in organization of events and providing data and researches. Since our operation focus is European Union and foreign affairs (relations), we believe that we can significantly contribute in discussions about the development of the wider Mediterranean region and the Middle East. Since we are member organization of the International Paneuropean Union, we have the capacity of disseminating news and information. Due to this fact, we can enhance the ALF network as well as enrich the activities of the International Paneuropean Union.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We wish to join the ALF network in order to contribute to the network as much as we can (with our knowledge and experience) and to be better informed about the development in the Mediterranean region. We also wish to strengthen the ALF network in Slovenian and in the wider Mediterranean context.
