An applicant and coordinator
CDI UNIVERZUM (Slovenia) 
CDI Univerzum is the coordinator of the project.
CDI Univerzum is a college of further education (16+) and one of the Slovenia’s most established providers in the field of adult education. Students are teenagers and young people who dropped out of regular schools, middle-aged unemployed people, working people in need of retraining, pensioners, who come from extremely diverse social backgrounds – ranging from well-off individuals with poor level of education to people from disadvantaged areas and different types of immigrants.
The education programmes provided are mostly formal programmes, which follow the national curriculum. They include primary education and a number of vocational programmes at secondary level: gardening, catering, tourism, retailing, mechanics, IT, administrative and business studies. There are options to do a three, four or five year course and/or pick individual specialist subjects or modules. The majority of courses include some kind of practical work – this gives the students a chance to get an insight into their future jobs and perhaps even establish contacts with future employers.
In recent years, it has begun to shift the focus to informal education and lifelong learning.
