Studio is currently transposing all its activities to the workcenter in Krušče, a small village near Cerknica.

"Climate change is a problem, migration is not. The problem is their management," said the main speaker Dr. Sarah Walker at 8th Global learning conference, that took place on November 8th, 2023, in Slovenia.

At the conference held within the framework of the project "Beyond Tales" was organized by the Humanitas and Umanotera association, and the booklet "Once upon a time was a home" was also presented.
