June is Month of Slovenia at the CEF

We present our host Slovenia in June at our premises in Ljubljana, as the 7th constituency country under the initiative of the CEF monthly country presentations.

We are marking the month of Slovenia with promotion materials about cultural heritage and landscape at Slovene corner in our lobby. Our learning facilitators will present Slovenian culture to participants of learning events and give them an opportunity to share their experiences connected with Slovenia. We will spread the word about the activities also through our various communication channels including social media.
