International Cooperation

The non-profit non-governmental organization Jasa, was founded in 1996 with the aim to actively “co-shape” the society by intervening the areas relevant for a quality wellbeing: environment, ecology, business ethics, European education, human rights, consumerism ... (in short: sustainable development and active citizenship).

The main area of work is raising awareness and finding solutions to important social, development and environmental problems. Jasa's field of expertize is in information dissemination and two-way communication through narrative literature, strengthened by high artistic illustration. Jasa cooperates with the most established Slovenian experts in the field of education, writing and art of painting. The transfer media, which Jasa uses for raising knowledge and awareness, is high quality art book.

Jasa is cooperating with more than 500 Slovenian companies, more than 100 Slovenian municipalities, with most important Slovenian Ministries and development institutions as well as with all Slovenian primary schools (451), all kindergartens (402) and high schools (183). More than 10.000 participants get yearly involved in its projects. These strong national contacts make Jasa not only a reliable partner for achieving high project results, but also guarantee a wide dissemination effect from a low to the top level. Jasa  cooperates also in specific international projects, financed mainly from the National Ministry’s and EU funds.

Jasa has received quite a few recognitions: for innovation in teaching techniques from Finance magazine and ASI (Slovenian Inventors’ Centre); for voluntary work a commendation from the President of the Republic and from Viva magazine; for the Grundtvig mobility in 2013 an Apple of Quality and the first prize from The Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes (CMEPIUS).
