Abstract

This study is a review article. It presents the forms of teaching Polish language, literature and culture that currently exist in Slovenia, from formal education to non-formal education. Particular attention is paid to the role of the university, namely, the University of Ljubljana, within which Polish studies operate, in popularising the Polish language and culture outside the country and outside the program of Polish studies. Since 2019, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Ljubljana has been organising workshops on the Polish language and knowledge about Poland for children and young people living (temporarily or permanently) in Slovenia. Using the potential of the staff concentrated around formal education centres, in our case the University of Ljubljana, and transferring it to non-formal language education, this gives young Poles living abroad the opportunity to maintain contact with Polish and with fellow countrymen abroad, and deepen their knowledge about Polish and Poland, while posing new challenges for the academic teacher.
