ZAVOD GLOBAL
The Institute for Global Learning and Projects Development (Zavod Global) is a non-governmental organization established in 2010. Zavod Global achieves its goals through activities divided into two main areas - global learning and projects development.
Global learning: with our activities we want to promote the process of learning and action, which emphasizes the interdependence and individual involvement in global events. Our goal is to encourage individuals and communities to engage in addressing the common challenges facing humanity.

Zavod Global was established to carry out global learning, intercultural education, and development activities.

Project development: We offer professional support to individuals and organizations in the form of finding financial resources and in formulating ideas into concrete projects. Our institute is open to all who want project work in the non-governmental sector with the goal of enhancing general social wellbeing.
The basic purpose of the institute is to acquaint and bring people in Slovenia closer to people and societies in the Global South. It carries out global learning and sustainable development activities to this end.
An additional purpose of the institute is to promote cooperation between Slovenian and foreign (from the Global South) universities, intellectuals and to connect governmental and non-governmental organizations in the fields of social protection, economy, culture, sports, humanitarian aid and others. The institute offers appropriate support to interested organizations and individuals in establishing contacts, cooperation and preparation of joint projects and programs.
