Product designVolunteering Work in Slovenia: Design for community
When I started to work on this project (2010), the space was abandoned. The challenges were to give a new life to this space, changing local prejudices about it and empowering the local community to take over the creative space. (“Atelje” in Slovenian language)
What it is?
Restyling Atelje is a project to give a new meaning to an existing place. Called Atelje a place which was abandoned for many years.
Challenge
Engage the local community to participate actively in a public space
Problems
The place was abandoned, with lots of prejudices, no social event in the last few years, and perceived by the local community as place to avoid
We interviewed the local community to understand their wishes and needs. From their feedback, we started to design and rename the space. Creating place comfortable and nice to visit.
After four months of collaborative work, involving the local community, the place was ready to be used.
A place for innovating, for creating, for cooking, and for kids

We invited artists to work at Atelje and we planned: workshop & monthly lecture.
