St Francis the Salesian Institute for Educational and Cultural Activities from Želimlje

The institute is primarily a school institution intended for the education of young people, but it brings together under one roof a variety of activities which differ in terms of both content and organisation. In addition to formal educational programmes, it also prepares other educational programmes and activities: sports, culture, education etc. These are aimed at young people and teachers, as well as parents and other children and adults from the area in which the school operates. They thus organise youth camps, debating circles and study visits. They establish ties with similar institutions at home and abroad, organising family training programmes, provide advice for parents, run a music school and theatre workshops, and train animators to run social, cultural and sporting activities. The Želimlje institute has thus grown from a typical school institution into a learning-educational, cultural and social centre for its town and region.
