The Environmental Centre still remembers the days of making new social connections and engaging in reading clubs. To renew this tradition we decided that the very first project of the Environmental Centre will be the establishment of an "Environmental reading club". The aim of this project is to bring the latest published environmental literature closer to the public.
The Environmental reading club takes place once a month at the Info point of the Environmental Center. It is organised in cooperation with one of the members of the Environmental Center (CIPRA Slovenija, Focus, Slovenian e-forum, Institute for sustainable development, Umanotera). Every time a piece of literature with an environmental content is presented. Various experts from the field that the publication covers debate on the subject, while audience is invited to take part in the debate afterwards. So far we presented these books:
