In the Slavia Friulana region considerable\nefforts have been made to actively promote the Slovene language and culture\nwhich, according to experts, are both in great danger. In order to help\npreserve the Slovene language and culture, in 2018 the P. Petri\u010di\u010d bilingual\nSlovene-Italian unified school district in San Pietro al Natisone, the\nInstitute for the Slovene Culture, the Ivan Trinko Cultural Association and the\nSlovene Research Institute (SLORI) established a permanent partnership. In its\nfirst execution phase, the partnership focused primarily on informing the\nfamilies of pupils who attend the bilingual school in San Pietro al Natisone\nabout the benefits and challenges of bilingual education, as well as those of\nlearning Slovene as a second language. In fact, it has been observed that when\nenrolling their children in the bilingual school district, some parents are not\nsufficiently aware of the school’s specific role, mission and goals.\nFurthermore, they often do not realise that it is crucial for these\nschoolchildren to be able to consistently use the Slovene language. Thus, the\nuse of Slovene is to be promoted not only in class, but also in several other\nschool-related situations as well as extracurricular activities. Project\npartners agree that the bilingual school in San Pietro al Natisone plays an\nimportant role in keeping the Slovene language alive in the Slavia Friuliana\nregion. Nevertheless, it is clear that the school cannot be the only means of\npreserving the language. This is why the partners have been fostering a close\ncooperation among the school, experts, civil society, families and other\nindividuals. Between September and December 2018, experts working at SLORI\norganised three informative events. At the start of the school year, linguist\nDr Matejka Grgi\u010d and psychologist Dr Susanna Pertot held a meeting with parents\nin which they presented the many benefits of bilingual education. Parents were\nalso given advice on how to help schoolchildren living in a bilingual environment\nand told what they can expect from them. In October 2018, Dr Zaira Vidau gave a\ntalk on the Slovene-language community living in Italy, presenting it from a\nsocial, political and cultural viewpoint. She also provided detailed\ninformation on the activities carried out by various local Slovene associations\nand organisations. The last event of the series the was held in December,\nduring the school’s open day. As part of the introductory presentation, Dr\nMatejka Grgi\u010d illustrated the benefits and the possible difficulties faced by\nschoolchildren growing up in a multilingual environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
