Asociacija and DobraVaga are again joining forces and inviting you to a workshop on the status of the self-employed in culture, which will focus on those who are registering as self-employed in culture for the first time. At the workshop, we will address the issues of obtaining and managing the status.
The status of self-employed in culture, obtained at the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, represents one of the basic formal forms of work for artists in the field of culture. Obtaining the status is a formalized procedure that requires filling in forms, reviewing the relevant regulation and its annexes, and providing various supporting documents, which often poses a significant administrative barrier to individuals when deciding to obtain the status.
Because the process of obtaining the status is complicated for many people, the Asociacija Association has designed a workshop to help you apply for the status, as well as inform you about some of its more significant advantages and disadvantages. The workshop is part of a series of free workshops and lectures for young people at the beginning of their professional creative path, with which DobraVaga is expanding its support activities with the aim of providing useful skills and knowledge that is important for working and career building in culture.
The workshop is intended primarily for those who do not have the status of self-employed in culture and at the same time view it as a potential career opportunity. At the workshop, you will learn about the specific administrative and formal procedures that await you if you decide to become self-employed in culture, as well as other aspects that will help you assess whether the status of self-employed in culture is suitable for you and your own career vision.
At the workshop, we will address issues such as:
– obtaining the status of self-employed in culture;
– obtaining and renewing the right to pay social security contributions;
– how to effectively write an application to convince the expert commission at the Ministry of Culture;
– the criteria for individual professions;
– the formal and administrative duties that must be performed by those who are self-employed in culture.
The workshop will be led by Miha Satler, who works in the fields of art, cultural production and advocacy, and as a professional associate at Asociacija, he is responsible, among other things, for resolving legal, formal and administrative issues of the self-employed in culture within Asociacija’s service for independent creators.
The workshop will take place live.
Advance registration at ajda.kocutar@dobravaga.si is required; places are limited.
Duration: approx. 3 hours
Organization: Asociacija Association and Kino Šiška/DobraVaga
