From idea to reality
Winning is just the beginning.
Once the winning idea is selected, it moves into development and production. Then, during the annual Giving Back volunteer day, Outfit7 employees come together at Debeli rtič to help build it.
What started as an idea in a classroom becomes a real place for children to play.
