About Challenge Europe

Featured Advocates

Slovenia


Staša Bornekar - Because Stasa, a soon-to-be-teacher, has always been interested in our environment, she was drawn to study geography with sociology. During her studies she joined CEEPUS, the student exchange programme, and went to the Czech Republic to write her dissertation. She has also worked in summer camps for underprivileged children where she helped organize activities like workshops with an educational emphasis on protecting habitats. When she becomes a teacher, she wants to make environmental studies more attractive to students.
