A physical wristband as a signal. A silent agreement between people who know what they want. A simple idea that allows us to recognise each other — on the street, in a café, on a train.
People are not failing to find partners because they do not exist. They fail because we no longer have a system that allows us to recognise each other in real life. Tinder is not the answer. Bars are not the answer. We need a new, human protocol.
“Perhaps we meet them on the street. Perhaps we notice them in a café. Perhaps they are sitting opposite us on a train. And then we see it — a yellow wristband. And we decide to approach.”Project idea · NEO ARK 2035
A wristband is not a wedding ring. It is not an app. It is a physical signal — we wear it when we are open and remove it when we are not. Honest and simple.
The colors are inspired by the Slovenian flag — red, blue and white form the core. Yellow, purple and black add nuances that reflect the reality of modern life.
The project is not only for the young and single. It is for anyone who understands that demographic future begins with us — with every individual willing to take a step.
#PreštejmoSe cannot function alone. We invite matchmaking agencies, relevant organisations and individuals who understand that real-life connection is a matter of national interest.
Each registered wristband is an anonymous data input. Together, we build a living picture of where single people are, where there are couples hoping for children — and what this means for the future of communities.
“What matters most to us is that we take all publicly available data and use it — creating tools and mechanisms that help us understand why birth rates are declining, why people are unhappy, and why so many remain single.”Project vision · NEO ARK 2035
Data collected through wristband registration will be shared with the Institute for Demographic Future and will complement the project Demographic Time Machine — an advanced system for understanding and forecasting demographic changes across towns and municipalities. In this way, #PreštejmoSe becomes a living, participatory part of the national demographic strategy.
It is not enough to be aware of the problem. We must take a step. The wristband is a small step — with a powerful message. Join, share it, become a partner.
