Language skills are crucial for individuals’ social inclusion and an indispensable part of successful integration. However, foreigners living in Slovenia often highlight the obstacles they face in learning Slovenian, ranging from limited availability of courses to inconsistent quality and an insufficient number of free language course hours.
As part of the advocacy campaign under the BODE+ project, which addresses inclusion challenges, a public initiative and petition were developed in collaboration with the migrant community, non-governmental organisations, and other institutions to improve Slovenian language learning programs for foreigners. The initiative is the outcome of a months-long participatory process involving workshops, anonymous interviews, and group writing.
