About the Diversity Festival
The Diversity Festival is an event where youth from different minorities in Europe meet and spend a week together participating in creative workshops, activities and exchange, with a focus on creative approaches to minority activism under the motto “SINERGIJA | SYNERGY”.
The word synergy comes from the ancient Greek word synergos, συνεργός, which means working together. Synergy is the phenomenon of two or more interacting or cooperating agents which produces an effect that is much greater than the sum of their individual effects.
The festival is co-hosted and organised by DM+, the Association of Young Slovenians in Italy. DM+ was established in 2019, hold their headquartes in Špeter (San Pietro al Natisone) and have members come from different regions: Trieste, Gorizia and Udine. One of their main goals is to provide opportunities for young people to meet, to spend meaningful moments together, to talk about different experiences and to interact with each other.
