Applications are now open for the T4EU Festival of Culture and Languages and Sustainable Student Heritage Competition – “INSPIRING ISTRIA” which will take place in Koper from 8 to 11 September 2026, hosted by University of Primorska (Koper, Slovenia).
Participants will engage in hands-on learning by selecting one of three specialized workshops:
- Visual Arts workshop: translate words and festival themes into visual art. Work in a fully equipped studio to master screen printing, linocut, and etching, using T-shirts as your final canvas.
- Audiovisual workshop: learn the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking and video editing. Capture the hidden spaces, cuisine, and multicultural life of Koper to create a collaborative ethnographic film.
- Poetry Workshop: explore intercultural dialogue through the art of traditional haiku. Compose poems in English inspired by Koper and experiment with literary translation into your native language.
Requirements:
No prior experience needed for the Visual Arts and Audiovisual tracks—only curiosity and creativity.
Good command of English is required (especially for the writing and translation components in the Poetry track).

Three UniTS students will be selected from those in the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD programmes.
