What danes je nov dan does

Danes je nov dan (DJND), legally registered as Inštitut za druga vprašanja, is a Slovenian nonprofit civil society institute founded around 2015 and headquartered in Ljubljana. Its mission is to advance civic participation, government transparency, digital rights, and community solidarity through a combination of advocacy campaigns and open-source civic-technology tools. The organization operates on a collective ("kolektiv") model with a small team of 1-10 employees and is governed by publicly stated principles, with no parent company or external controlling entity.

DJND's product portfolio centers on six openly available platforms. Parlameter monitors the work of Slovenia's National Assembly, tracking speeches, votes, and legislation. Participativni proračun, built on Consul, supports participatory budgeting and has been deployed by 13 Slovenian municipalities. Register rabe UI is a public registry of AI systems used in the Slovenian public sector. Sredina digitalna higiena is a weekly digital hygiene educational series, complemented by the monthly Občasnik newsletter and the Pritisni na poslanca tool for citizen-to-legislator outreach. All code is released under the CC0 license on the organization's GitHub, and outputs are distributed free of charge via danesjenovdan.si and dedicated subdomains.

DJND has no commercial revenue stream and does not sell products or services. Income is derived from individual donations (one-time, monthly, and via Flik/QR), EU project co-financing (notably referenced under Impact4Values), and implicit institutional support. The organization reaches audiences through a multi-channel mix including its website, two newsletters, RSS, and profiles on Mastodon, TikTok, Instagram, Bluesky, X, Facebook, and YouTube, and is embedded in a dense coalition network spanning Zavezništvo za integriteto, EDRi, Protect Not Surveil, and numerous domestic human rights and transparency partners.
