The project pursues 4 main goals:

1. Enabling access to training and employment to migrants and refugees in order for them to benefit from their own ability, through vocational reintegration and inclusion to the labour market.
2. Developing new and innovative economic activities within the scope of social entrepreneurship and progressively upgrade them, while ensuring their sustainability and job creation.
3. Offering activities to native Slovenians (cookery courses, camps, catering and telecast), which, in an innovative way, promote social interaction between migrants and the majority population with the intention to de-construct as many stereotypes and prejudices held by both parties and achieve a tolerant society.
4. Through training and other activities, increasing the social inclusion of socially vulnerable groups in the mainstream society.

The most important challenges faced by the team is overcoming cultural differences while operation in inter-cultural environment.

The targeted Migrant and refugee group as well as the Slovenian population, and ultimately the Slovenian society as such will benefit from the project.

The Project consists of 3 areas corresponding to 3 activities:

1. A Restaurant which employs 4 chefs from the Global South who prepare authentic food from their respective culinary backgrounds. Skuhna contractually cooperates with other chefs from this part of the world so ensure enough diversity to propose food from a different country every day.
2. A Catering service which can be enriched with poetic folk music, folk tales or live music.
3. Cooking workshops conducted by people from Africa, Asia and South America. In addition to cooking skills, participants of the cookery courses expand their horizons as they will be able to communicate with persons who come from a foreign cultural environment. They will be able to learn about politics, international relations, peer relations, history, languages, music, dance ... depending on the interest of participants.

So far, 7 individuals with migrant background are participating to training courses, 4 are employed on the project with an undetermined or fixed-term full-time contract for a period of at least 18 months and more than 30 catering activities have been carried out. The project have been presented on 9 occasions and more than 20 articles have been published about it.

Skuhna is regularly evaluates through weekly meetings with employees. During the evaluation process the quantitative and qualitative results in regards to objectives are taken into account.

Skuhna project is financed by the European Social Fund through the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs
