The international dance group En-Knap was founded in 1993 by Iztok Kovač in Leuven, Belgium, under the wings of the production-management house Stuc and the Klapstuk Festival. A year later the group moved its headquarters to Ljubljana, where it established EN-KNAP Productions. The internationally renowned production company has introduced and established its trademark aesthetics inside the European space, attracting an array of acclaimed co-producers and producing some of the most acclaimed contemporary dance pieces in recent history. From its beginnings, the programme of EN-KNAP has been supported by over 50 international co-producers, by the Slovenian Ministry of Culture and by the City of Ljubljana. Since 2009, EN-KNAP administers Španski Borci Cultural Centre, a public infrastructure in the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana with the domestic stage for the only professional ensemble for contemporary dance in Slovenia, EnKnapGroup.

The mission of Global Institute Slovenia is to channel, exchange and provide quality information on the global South (Africa, Asia, South and Central America) to the Slovenian and European space with migrants themselves being at the forefront. We strive for equal opportunities and participation in Slovenian/European society of migrant communities taking into account their specific knowledge and skills.
All the activities of Global Institute Slovenia are geared towards the empowerment of migrant society in Slovenia from the Global South. From our strong links with migrants (facilitated by the fact that the organization was founded by a migrant), we came to the conclusion that  they face immense difficulties in entering the labor market, as they often do not know the language, cultural specifics, and do not have  a wide social network. Some of them are not aware of their basic labour rights and their skills and knowledge goes unrecognized. They are also victims of institutional or covert racism.
Our activities are hence geared towards  integrating migrants into the labour market while at the same time spreading more balanced information about non-Western cultures. This is why we strive to create a space for action-oriented global citizens with strong critical thinking abilities
