There is a big lack of networking of associations in Slovenia. The project will connect all societies and provide them assistance at many points in their operation. Regardless of the main activity, it is important to share experience, to meet new people, share ideas and be heard. Bridge for societies is a platform where can associations find news regarding new tenders, events, legislation and chat on the forum with other participants.

The project will be available on the Slovenian domain.

Most societies are left to themselves when we talk about their work/operation. In general, the founders of societies do not have knowledge or time to lead their societies on a professional level. They need to focus on core activities and this is the main reason why we want to help them. We want to provide support on administration, organization of events, application for tenders and connecting with other members. Small to medium societies in the villages do not connecting with other societies soo much because they can not find common interest as bigger societies do. On our Forum they can share their ideas for the project and we will help them to find partners.

Target group:
- All participants of associations
- People who want to start with the societies

1.) Start preparing all material for the website.
2.) Analyze and test the operation of the website.
3.) Meet with Municipality with a plan to invite all societies under this region at the meeting.
4.) Start to collaborate with societies and municipalities.
5.) Achieve the biggest growth in numbers of events and acquired funds this year.

In a year from now, we will have a platform that will be updated with info regarding chosen topics. The platform presents the place where all societies communicate and help each other.
Due to this project, we can increase networking between societies, number of events and have more successful management of societies.

Societies are the great changemakers of the rural environment. They have led to some of the most important social changes. We are going to connect people in those societies via events and forums on our platform. We now that the main tool for communication between young people is the internet and we want to use this tool to engage also young people to be more active and to have more power for achieving the goal or vision of societies. On the other hand, we have leaders of the societies who will use our website to get information regarding legislation, tenders, or sharing their problems.

I really want to bring added value to the wider community. I am aware that this is a big project but on the other hand, it is a challenge for me.
