As an independent organization, Zveza ŠKIS is responsible for the efficient and proper work of student clubs. Through its projects, Zveza ŠKIS provides practical education to activists of student clubs, advising them in their work, resolve any problems, and takes care of the connectivity between clubs and also young people from all regions of Slovenia. With the organization of round tables on up-to-date issues and needs of students in all local communities, Zveza ŠKIS is involved in the formation of youth policies and forms a number of planning documents. Zveza ŠKIS is involved in negotiations with the government and the social partners within the framework of the Student Organization of Slovenia, as well as in government working groups for Student Affairs. As a member of the National Youth Council of Slovenia, Zveza ŠKIS is one of the most important national project and educational institutions, representing young people in Slovenia.
The largest one-day outdoor, eco-friendly event for young people in Slovenia is certainly the famous "Škisova tržnica" (Škis' fair). The event brings together more than 20.000 young people who have the opportunity to learn about Slovenia, to hear all Slovenian dialects, try food from all places throughout Slovenia and have fun with the varied program and great music.
Second-hand book fair is a traditional project of Zveza ŠKIS, taking place in early September during the weekend in Križanke, Ljubljana. Second-hand book fair is intended for children and their parents, whose social status does not allow them to buy new textbooks and other school supplies, and to those who see no point in buying new books every year.
"ŠKIS days of healthy living" is a two-day project, through which we want to raise awareness about healthy lifestyle and promote solidarity among students. The most important objective is to promote and maintain values such as healthy and active life, solidarity and empathy.
"Častim pol litra" (Giving away half a liter) has become a traditional and recognizable slogan for a nation-wide student blood-donating action, which takes place every year in the autumn and spring.
Activists at Zveza ŠKIS are constantly organizing seminars, workshops and trainings and we want to spread our knowledge among other members of the Network. We would also like to present our work to others and thereby advise other organizations. We would like to encourage mobility among Slovenian youth and also among youth in other countries.
Because we have a lot of activists, we can offer to the Network a lot of creativity and innovation. Above all, we want to build bridges of friendship between different organizations and nations.
Zveza ŠKIS and especially International Board of Zveza ŠKIS would like to share and spread awareness of youth problems into other members of ALF Network. Also, we would like to learn something new, share our knowledge and finally in such a way we would like encourage mobility of Slovenian students. Finally with membership in the ALF Network we will gain some experiences and we will get together with youth in other countries. Also with this membership the reputation of Zveza ŠKIS will be improved both in Slovenia and abroad.
