Ongoing cautioning about the destruction of nature has yet to bring us to our senses. The lack of awareness of the connection between human beings and other living creatures, including the largest organism – the Earth, will lead to doom. Between 11 and 16 May 2009 a major international event is taking place in the capital, the Poster Festival Ljubljana '09 on the theme of climatic change.
Through the poster media we are trying to convey to the international public important socio-political messages and hence highlight the global issue of coexistence.
The festival combines several events: “Competition” for young designers up to 35 years of age, “Workshop” of students from partner academies, the “Masterpieces” exhibition with the biggest names in poster design, “Eco Round Table” on the theme of climatic change and sustained development and the “Coexistence” visiting exhibition from Poland.

Two of these events, the exhibitions Coexistence – Posters by Polish Artists, and Masterpieces – The Social-Political Poster are hosted in the National Gallery of Slovenia.
