To become a star, to shine with your own light and to follow your own path even in the darkest nights. Dragan Sakan's life work will touch us with his magic gold dust for the last time on Wednesday, October 13th 2010, at 7 p.m. in Visconti Fine Art gallery at Mestni trg 18, Ljubljana. The book of mourning will be opened until Friday, October 15th 2010.

We organized a party in the luxurious ambience of the Ljubljana Castle, where our taste buds were pampered by Colin Scott, master whisky blender for Chivas Brothers. We tasted five different whiskies and thus undertook a tasteful historical journey through maturation and production of Chivas whiskies.

On Saturday, participants of the Business Conference, the American Chamber of Commerce members in Slovenia and Diners Club card holders met the former US president, Mr. Bill Clinton, who held the lecture Accepting Joint Responsibility for Humanity. In the meantime, New Moment eagerly attended to the media support of the event!

We got her! A creative director, that is! Svetlana Ćopić, with MA in Sociology, Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, has been in communication sciences for 8 years and she is the proud owner of all important advertising awards (Epica, Paris; Golden Drum, Portorož; Magdalena, Maribor; MIAF, Moscow; European Excellence Award, Berlin…), this year's Golden Drum festival jury member and our creative team supervisor. Where ideas were already boiling, we added a spicy art director and designer! Hurray!

300 participants of 30 workshops of de Bono's way of thinking will confirm that. We invite you to the workshop Six thinking hats (for effective, cooperative, systematic thinking) on Saturday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and to the workshop Lateral thinking (for generating more and bolder ideas and concepts) on Saturday, September 26, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. More information at nastja@newmoment.si and www.council4newthinking.com.

Students of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design have, under the mentorship of renowned professor Saša J.

The time has come again for 'individual' workshops for a more efficient and creative thinking, developed by Dr. Edward de Bono, ambassador of this year's European Year of Creativity and Innovation. Six Thinking Hats and Lateral thinking are one-day workshops, which are proven to be useful. Together with your own will, motivation and discipline they contribute to considerable changes in thinking, awareness and life. You are invited to attend the workshops on 6th and 13th of June.
