Culture and Sports
Strive for excellence and inclusion.
Slovenia is among the member states spending significantly on recreation, culture and religion with currently 1.5% of GDP. Whether it's team or individual sports, we have a track record across multiple disciplines built upon our strong sporting culture. We also have a cultural scene to match, which would greatly benefit from similar support and making Slovenian art and artists known beyond our borders while nurturing our cultural scene and distinct character.
On the downside, only 55% of the lowest income households regularly practice sports ( Norway 90%) and only about 20% of the population above age 55 participate in sporting activities (Denmark 70%) - two areas that policies should also aim to address.
Volt Slovenija proposes:
Sporting facilities and accessibility
Develop a long term plan for building recreational sporting facilities on a ratio per capita similar to leading countries like Norway or Denmark. The focus should be on infrastructures accessible by all ages, financial backgrounds and in smaller municipalities.
Culture
Protect alternative sites and spaces like Ljubljana’s Metelkova from falling prey to commercialisation and urbanisation projects. Preserving our culture means preserving the spaces where it can develop freely.
