On a 2.24-kilometer long paper carpet, everyone, who were willing to, wrote, drew, or showed otherwise how they want to see this piece of coast in the future.

More than thirty organizations, including twelve elementary and high schools, joined the campaign, which was organized by the Association for Culture and Education PiNA together with their partners. About 1,000 participants were drawing together.

As Boris Jerman, the vice president of PINA and the leader of this project said, they recorded and photographed everything right before the campaign ended, which was followed by an analysis of the ideas: "We will then present our analysis to the local, state and European institutions with a desire to take this vision into an account in the future spatial planning."

According to Jerman, a regional spatial planning should be ready within three or four years, then the realization follows. Both municipalities have already ensured that there will be no major infrastructures or major construction projects.

Among the participants of this campaign, there were also students from elementary and high schools from both municipalities. "Slides, rafts, trees, playground, ..." were the most frequent answers of students when we asked them about what they want to see in this area.
