My name is No and I come from France. I first volunteered for Ljubljana Pride as part of an ESC group project to support the implementation of the Ljubljana Pride Festival 2025 that lasted one month. I like it so much that I came back for an individual ESC project the next year, for two months!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second time around, my work focused on the intersection between queerness, climate justice and sustainability. I mainly worked on conceptualising and implementing the Green corner on Pride village. To do so, I got to work with multiple green organisations of Slovenia, create my own art project, conduct more academical research and present it through a small exhibition, as well as support the implementation of sustainable merch workshops. I felt like my ideas were valued and my initiatives encouraged. I was given space and time to create and invest in personal projects that I was motivated about. I felt trusted and supported by my coordinator, in a way that pushed me to voice out my concerns and take care of my mental health needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a personal level, getting to work on a topic that was both queer and green, fulfilled me in ways I didn&#8217;t know were possible. I used to think I had to choose between my interests, and volunteering for Ljubljana Pride made me realise that I might find a job that combines both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got the chance to immerse myself in the amazing local queer community, and formed deep friendships that will survive the trial of time. I made connections with other queer activists from all over Europe during the seminar, and attended panels that broadened my horizons and inspired me on personal and professional&nbsp;levels. It was very interesting to be on the inside of an amazing festival, and get to bring my own little stone(wall) to the edifice. I learned a lot about organising events of such scale, and I will be taking it with me throughout my next experiences!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteering for Ljubljana Pride was one of the best choices I ever made and I would love to be back anytime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/ljubljanapride.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/financira-eu-logo-c-1024x410.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11773\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.4976053866944854;width:226px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ljubljanapride.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/financira-eu-logo-c-1024x410.png 1024w, https:\/\/ljubljanapride.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/financira-eu-logo-c-980x392.png 980w, https:\/\/ljubljanapride.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/financira-eu-logo-c-480x192.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
