For students who already have some knowledge of Slovene, informal meetings were offered to help them overcome the discomfort of communicating in Slovene and strengthen their ability to express themselves in conversation.

For beginners, they organised a basic course in Slovenian. Through informal get-togethers, they wanted to help Ukrainian students to communicate more easily in Slovenian with their colleagues and teachers. The course took place in the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year.

The students' voluntary commitment shows that the University of Ljubljana is committed to intergenerational solidarity and the integration of international students into our shared learning and cultural environment.

International students ambassadors and students from Ukraine, studying at our University, are also here to help and support you. Find out more here.
