    Diversity enriches us all 

    Slovenia is a country of all those who live in it, work, create, breathe its air, enjoy its features, enrich it, leave their mark on it, and more. These marks are left in a number of areas; ranging from science, research, culture and art, to economic areas. These marks are also left by the interesting faces that chose Slovenia as their new homeland. 

    Slovenians like to boast of the country’s diverse regions and cultural diversity. Slovenia is also rich for its people of different nationalities, who live in its territory and enrich its society, further contributing to the intercultural understanding.

    We asked our interesting faces about their views on the Slovenia’s quarter of a century existence: How do they experience Slovenia? Why is Slovenia also their homeland? What has changed for the better in this time and why did they stay in Slovenia? Which are the advantages of living in Slovenia? What could be better? They held an interesting mirror up to the country and its citizens. Interested?
