Razvojno izobraževalni center Novo mesto, RIC Novo mesto for short, is a public institution for adult education and was founded in 1994 by the Municipality of Novo mesto. The concept of the evolution of Institution's organisation and activities is being constantly developed and upgraded in a dynamic way. From an institution whose activities primarily involved educational programmes towards a degree ten years ago, RIC Novo mesto has grown into an adult education centre offering an array of programmes and boasting strong development activities. We provide primarily adult education services for seven neighbouring municipalities in addition to our home municipality. Recently, there has been a steady increase in activities in the scope of project work, thereby in establishing links within partnerships, from local to international. Our programmes of formal and non-formal education, the development of our programmes, the introduction of new forms and possibilities in education and lifelong learning, project work and support activities for adult education and learning, such as counselling, Knowledge Exchange or Open Learning Centre, are put into practice by fifteen permanently employed or freelance educators and administrative workers and by a greater number of the employees hired through public works. The concept of the evolution of our organisation and activities is being continually and dynamically developed and upgraded.
