SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Evenings: The Poor People's Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Novomeški poletni večeri (Novo mesto Summer Evenings) festival\, Goga Publishing House invites you to the literary evening The Poor People’s Kitchen\, taking place on Thursday\, 9 July 2026\, at 8.00 pm. \nKITCHEN OF THE POOR; SVETLANA SLAPŠAK\, ROBERT GREGORČIČ AND META KOCJAN / LITERARY EVENING \nWhat do poverty\, wealth and a good meal have in common? More than might seem at first glance. \nInspired by the book The Poor People’s Kitchen\, the discussion with Dr Svetlana Slapšak will explore how food – and the lack of it – shapes communities\, identities and perceptions of wealth. Why do some people display golden dinner services while others create meals from leftovers? And what does this reveal about society? \nRather than a conventional academic study\, The Poor People’s Kitchen is a collection of the author’s diverse research\, reflecting on how our relationship with food and the pleasure of eating shape our lives. Together with the book’s author Dr Svetlana Slapšak\, chef Robert Gregorčič and Meta Kocjan\, the audience will explore questions such as: What is poverty? How do different cultures express wealth? And what role does food play in all of this? \nThe event will take place at the festival venue on Glavni trg\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent website \nFestival Programme 2026\n\nWednesday\, 9 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – The Poor People’s Kitchen\nMonday\, 14 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Prešeren\, Censorship and the Fascinating 19th Century\nWednesday\, 16 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Crime Fiction\, Music and Comics\nWednesday\, 16 July 2026\, 9.00 pm – Vlado Kreslin (concert)\nFriday\, 18 July 2026\, 10.00 am – Absolutely Nothing (puppet performance for children)\nMonday\, 21 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Grandmother and the Fir Tree\, A Thousand Years\nWednesday\, 23 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Life? or Theatre?\nFriday\, 25 July 2026\, 10.00 am – The Magical Birthday (puppet performance for children)\nWednesday\, 30 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Enlightened Novo mesto\nSaturday\, 1 August 2026\, 9.00 pm – Ana Pupedan (concert)\nFriday\, 8 August 2026\, 10.00 am – Little Mirror (puppet performance for children)\nTuesday\, 11 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Contemporary Slovenian Science Fiction Literature\nMonday\, 17 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Cuteness\nWednesday\, 19 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Contemporary World Poetry\nThursday\, 20 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Winter in Sokcho\nSaturday\, 22 August 2026\, 10.00 am – Goldilocks and the Three Bears (puppet performance for children)\n\nFestival website

DESCRIPTION:The Podbreznik Business Incubator invites you to the panel discussion Americans Trust Our Talent – So Why Do We Still Doubt Ourselves?\, taking place on Thursday\, 9 July 2026\, at 9.30 am at the Podbreznik Business Incubator. \nHow are Tanja\, who works for an AI company in Romania\, and Rok\, whose team builds direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands for major American companies\, raising new questions about talent\, expertise and opportunities in Slovenia? \nIn Slovenia\, we often ask ourselves whether we are good enough. Meanwhile\, Slovenian professionals and businesses are already succeeding in some of the world’s most demanding markets—from Romania to the United States. FlowX.AI\, one of Europe’s most successful AI start-ups\, where Tanja works\, is pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence\, while Flat Circle\, co-owned by Rok\, develops direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands for some of America’s largest e-commerce companies. \nThis panel discussion will challenge the myth of the “Slovenian confidence gap” and explore how trust in expertise is built on international markets. It is intended for anyone considering a career abroad\, looking for new business opportunities\, or wondering whether Slovenian knowledge and skills can compete on the global stage. \nEvent website

SUMMARY:RE:MISIJA – Concert of the Krka Wind Orchestra at Grm Castle
DESCRIPTION:The Krka Wind Orchestra invites you to a special concert titled RE:MISIJA\, which will take place on Saturday\, 27 June 2026 at 20:00 at Grm Castle. The concert will be conducted by Matevž Novak. \nThe soloists will be Marko Jenič (trumpet)\, Blaž Avbar (trumpet)\, Matej Rihter (trumpet)\, and Edita Miklič (vocals). \nPart of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana (Department for the Treatment of Malignant Lymphomas). \nLife sometimes unexpectedly brings us to a halt and places us in situations we do not choose. In such moments\, we come to realise that impermanence is not the opposite of life\, but rather its deepest value. \nThis concert under the starry sky at Grm Castle was inspired by long-time orchestra member and trumpeter Marko Jenič\, who was diagnosed with lymphoma. The illness temporarily interrupted his musical and teaching career\, but after a demanding treatment process he now looks ahead with hope and renewed strength. His experience highlights that healthcare is not only systems and numbers\, but above all people who stand by patients in their most difficult moments. His story reminds us that health is one of life’s greatest values\, often taken for granted. \nThrough this concert\, the orchestra wishes to express gratitude\, support\, and solidarity\, and to contribute where help means hope\, faster diagnosis\, and better chances for all who face similar challenges. \nVisitors are invited to a summer evening of music\, connection\, and humanity\, dedicated to those who bravely fight their battles and those who stand beside them. Every contribution matters. Every presence matters. Every kind thought matters. \nTickets are available via online sales at olaii.com and at physical sales points including Petrol\, MOL\, Shell\, INA\, 3DVA kiosks\, and Logo outlets. Admission is 18 EUR. \nIn case of rain\, the concert will take place on Sunday\, 28 June 2026 at 20:00. \nEvent website.
