Projects

The Advocacy Centre project will provide individual and group advocacy as well as legal support for people with disabilities across Slovenia. The project supports the transition from institutional care to community-based living and strengthens the right to choice, dignity, autonomy, and being heard.

Within the framework of European Capital of Culture 2025 in Nova Gorica & Gorizia, between June 8 and 13, 2025, the Museum of Madness took Marco Cavallo, the blue horse – a symbol of deinstitutionalisation – on a tour across Slovenia. The programme of the journey, titled Where Have We Come? We Have Come to You!, was dedicated to Franco Basaglia. Through theatre, film, and books, we raised awareness among the Slovenian public in Ljubljana, Maribor, Trate, and Nova Gorica, as well as among employees and residents of the institutions in Dutovlje and Hrastovec, about Basaglia’s psychiatric reforms and the urgent need for deinstitutionalisation.
