About our Organization
Zavod APIS/APIS Institute is a non profit and non governmental organization based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was established in 2012 as a socially engaged institute with a vision to promote social inclusion, intercultural dialogue and respect for human rights through diverse artistic and educational mediums.
We inform the public about contemporary social and humanitarian issues.
We create photo stories, video stories, documentaries, short films, comics and cross media stories to contribute towards a more emphatic and inclusive society.
We give voice to the socially excluded or marginalized.
The stories of the vulnerable and underrepresented are one of our key mediums and contributions towards positive social change.
We promote social inclusion of underrepresented groups with special focus on migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, underprivileged and socially engaged youth in our activities.
We use digital storytelling, video, photography and crossmedia approaches to transform personal testimonies into art, educational and advocacy materials and develop educational multimedia toolkits.
We educate and produce multimedia toolkits and online learning tools.
We design activities to empower the vulnerable and contribute to their social inclusion by providing training on a diverse range of skills. We also produce educational multimedia toolkits for teachers so they can use them in classrooms.
Why are we participating in this project?
The key objectives of Act&Art project are aligned with APIS vision and activities and APIS is eager and grateful to contribute to Act&Art project.
Our Role in the Project
APIS will coordinate the project and lead the development of the intellectual result “Toolbox” and the organization of the Dissemination Summit in Slovenia. APIS will also contribute through sharing expertise in working with marginalized communities and advising about the needs and specific contexts of migrants
