IPoP is a reliable, responsible and highly qualified project partner, known for its professional competences in methodology and practice of participation, well connected with actors at various levels, good event organizer, committed to project goals and agreements.

I am currently very proud of at least two of our projects, both of them are interesting ongoing cases of placemaking practice. In the first one: Vsi v mesto! We deal with the challenge of urban regeneration of a small town Kočevje in the southeastern part of Slovenia. We work closely with the municipality and local group of actors and involve the citizens from the very beginning as well so as to build common understanding and interest for a long-term cooperation in the development of new programs and arrangements. In the second project "Active travel to school and healthy city" we work with the support of the Ministry of Health on three activities: supporting organized walking and cycling of children to school, testing the process of preparation of local walkability plan and developing an educational program on the planning of healthy urban environment.
