Projects and Activities

Since 1976 Slovenian Teachers Association of Victoria / STAV developed the Slovenian language programs - the aims and course content with philosophical underpinning of combined language and cultural studies.

In 1998 it was reinstituted as the Institute for Slovenian Studies of Victoria / ISSV, which further developed and broadened this concept through the web site www.thezaurus.com and other projects.

ISSV facilitates and supports varied cultural activities and projects to further intercultural dialogue and strengthen links with Slovenia. This involves: organising and promoting events, book distribution, and participating in bilateral projects.
