Exhibitions
The premises of the association also offer a gallery space EPeKa Space. Recently the works by Jernej Forbici (SLO), Bojana Radulovič (MNE), Marko Lipuš (SLO) and of others were on display there.
In 2013 a major exhibition entitled Intergenerational Comics Exhibition - Together for a Better Living was opened and hosted 50 adult and 50 young artists. The exhibition was a part of an international EU funded project coordinated by Info Project from Romania and has involved 11 organisations from various countries (Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom).
In 2014 EPeKa was invited to curate 100 years in the Balkans - The comic strip in resistance, an exhibition conducted in partnership with Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée and Bosnian Cultural Center from Sarajevo. The exhibition that also features Slovene comics is on display at the Belgian Comic Strip Center in Brussels.
Education
The Association is concerned also with socially engaged education, especially when it comes to marginal social groups. In the past it run several workshops, lectures and projects aimed at inclusive approach of local and international protagonists (such as English lessons for Roma, intercultural dialogue, lessons of Romani language, etc.).
The education projects are closely related with European Volunteer Service (EVS) that EPeKa extensively collaborates with. The Association is among others also financed through institutions that promote European mobility and education: CMEPIUS - Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes, MOVIT, Service for Promotion of Youth Mobility, Slovene Human Resources Development and Scholarship Fund.
Social entrepreneurship
The most well-known EPeKa project is 'Romani kafenava', the first Roma restaurant in Slovenia that opened its doors in 2014. The project was supported by the EU Social Fund and Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Rights of RS.
Other projects included lectures and debates on social economy, destigmatisation of vulnerable social groups and others.
