Summary/Abstract: The most important aspect of the teachers’ work at Slovenian language lectureships is class teaching, together with mentoring of the students, but we are also representatives of Slovenia, who provide our students with information about Slovene culture and topical events in Slovenia. At most lectureships there are every year various cultural events. Since 2004, a number of projects for the promotion of culture have taken place every year or every two years at all the foreign universities where Slovene is taught under the shared title of World Festival. The projects aim to present as widely as possible Slovene language, literature and culture, and to promote Slovene at foreign universities where the language is taught.
