In 2009 Youth centre of Dravinja Valley began with the design and implementation of innovative method for targeting social phenomena and challenges. The method was named School of creativity. Through this innovative and flexible method our youth centre managed to approach key players of our society on unobtrusive and fun way. It also proved to be an excellent way for identification and promotion of free time activities which are available to youngsters in our local community. Themes, included in the method School of creativity were determined according to needs of our local community: intercultural dialogue, healthy lifestyle, intergenerational relations, ecology, sustainability, taking care of cultural inheritance and creativity. Positive effects and responses to our method School of creativity in our local community encouraged us to transfer our good practice on the international level.
