- International/Cultural relations
The Društvo Svilena Pot aims to promote and improve multi-culturalism within our local community and other communties on the coast of Slovenia and provide a cultural conduit between other regions in Slovenia, and the coastal region. We also aim to promote and facilitate interactions between the highly representative minority groups, the international community and the local community. Our main objective is to establish a women's cooperative that will offer training programs and employment for women from vulnerable groups.

Fundraising
We have a large number of residents from Albania, Bosnia, Croatia,Macedonia, Serbia, a small group of internationals, in addition to a well-established Italian minority group, all of whom are seeking to be a viable part of the communtiy in which they live. This is a culturally diverse group of people and in them we see the human resources necessary to develop and implement the objectives of the foundation which are similar to the objectives of our association. Furthermore we are certain that we can be useful members by sharing our good practices and experiences with other regional groups.
By joining the ALF network we would be cooperating with groups who have similar goals and objectives as our Društvo. We believe such a cooperation will facilitate an exchange of ideas and experiences that will greatly benefit our association. In addition, belonging to an international network will give us exposure that we believe will be beneficial to furthering our goals. We would also like to avail ourselves of any training opportunities and grants that would assist us in achieving our objectives.
