Today in the spotlight: NINA MARIN\u0160EK<\/strong>, Communications Manager, Iskriva Institute<\/p>\n

Nina in three words:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curious, world-minded, proactive.<\/p>\n

What motivates you the most in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a part of an organisation that develops projects with a tangible impact on society and regional development. Through our projects, we bring new knowledge, innovative approaches, investment, and collaboration into local environments, thereby co-creating regions that are becoming more visible, development-oriented, and attractive for living, working, and cooperation. I am also particularly inspired by international cooperation and by positioning local stories and initiatives within the broader European context, where the exchange of knowledge and good practices enables us to create an even greater impact.<\/p>\n

What do you see as the key ingredients of good and successful communication?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

In the age of artificial intelligence, I believe it is even more important for communication to preserve authenticity, sincerity, and human connection, as this is precisely what creates the difference between merely conveying information and genuinely connecting with people. It is crucial that we know who we are speaking to, understand our target audience, and are able to adapt content to the people we are addressing. I also believe it is important that we dare to communicate emotions, as it is stories and authentic relationships that create the greatest impact. Good communication is not only about the transfer of information, but above all about building trust, relationships, and a sense of connection.<\/p>\n

You are the lead of the Inclusive and Accessible Society (VIDD)<\/em> initiative. What does the initiative address and why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The VIDD<\/em> initiative represents a platform that connects people, organisations, and the economy in building a more inclusive, safe, and accessible society for everyone, regardless of age, abilities, education, economic status, or geographic location.<\/p>\n

We believe that only an inclusive society can, in the long term, generate quality of life, sustainable development, and a healthy economic environment. VIDD is therefore not just a project, but a space for connection, co-creation, and the exchange of good practices, with a focus on progress, development, and innovation. It opens doors to new ideas, business opportunities, and reflection on how we can shape a society that is more welcoming, accessible, and connected for all generations.<\/p>\n

Which book or podcast have you recently listened to or read and would recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I very much enjoy listening to conversations in the podcast Ro\u017enata dolina<\/em>, which, through personal stories from people with diverse life backgrounds, addresses current social issues, trends, and honest insights into everyday life in Slovenia. The podcast offers a valuable perspective for understanding the people we communicate with and for whom we design our projects.<\/p>\n

Among books, I would recommend Shoe Dog<\/em> by Phil Knight. It is an honest and inspiring story about the founding of Nike, from which we can learn a great deal both on a professional and personal level, especially about perseverance, courage, and trust in one\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\nMeet the Team: Nina Marin\u0161ek -
