ŠMOCL also organises projects such as a children's daycare, workshops on photography, international exchanges. It is also rather popular for its table tennis and table football equipment. The centre cooperates with the Velenje Festival, the Laško Public Library and tens of other institutions and collectives, from the local fishing club to numerous regional educational, sports and cultural protagonists.
Video activities
ŠMOCL is particularly strong in the video field and is the producer of a regional web-based video news programme called Laško TV. They film the activities carried out at the centre and rent out audio and video equipment. ŠMOCL has also been a co-producer of quite a few independent short film productions, with some of them screened at the International Mountain Film Festival Domžale.
