The education projects are closely related with the European Volunteer Service (EVS), an organisation with which EPEKA extensively collaborates. Among other sources, EPEPEKA is also financed through institutions that promote European mobility and education: the Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes (CMEPIUS), MOVIT – a Service for the Promotion of Youth Mobility, and the Slovene Human Resources Development and Scholarship Fund.
