- Democracy and community development
Since 2004 we produced more than 50 exhibitions, actions, events, temporary installations and permanent renovations of public spaces, mostly in Ljubljana, but also in other cities in Slovenia and abroad (Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Poland). On projects we cooperate with different artists, sociologists, landscape architects and journalists. Group ProstoRož has over ten members from different professions: architecture, urban planning, communicology and marketing, geography, design, sociology, engineering and law. Society ProstoRož works closely with Kombinat, an architecture bureau, and exchanges knowledge, human resources and infrastructure. Our current objective is to create a best practice example on revitalization of urban neighborhoods that are decaying in post Yugoslavian coutries.

To the network in our country we can contribute with our extensive experience in the field of community revitalizationa as well as our know-how when bringing together different aspect to community building, such as involving artist with working closely with a community to create a better living enviroment for the residents of the neighborhood.
We want to join ALF Network because we belive that our goals align when it comes to working with individuals on creating a better society. Our past and present work has shown that neighborhoods can improve the conditions of community life not only with big urbanistic changes but also with small interventions such as planting of plants and different cultural events that bring the residents closer together. We also belive that this network is great for exchange of knowledge and experience.
