Slovné spojenia s Luciou Molnár Satinskou: Dobrí susedia

The fourth part of the discussion series will be dedicated to people from Ukraine who had to leave their homeland as a result of the war and found a new home in Slovakia.

Does the language proximity make it easier for them to integrate into normal life in Slovakia? What opportunities do they have to improve their Slovak? Do they encounter prejudices based on accent or imperfect expression in Slovak? What helps them feel at home here? Lucia Molnár Satinská will talk about all of this and much more with guests Olha Zhurba and Alona Kurotová.

The discussion project Word Connections seeks answers to the questions of how to use language not to harm but to bring people together, how language stereotypes affect mutual perception, and what barriers language can represent in everyday life for people who are not its "typical users". The guests of linguist Lucie Molnár Satinská will be representatives of various organizations that deal with the issues of minorities or vulnerable population groups, as well as representatives of various communities or social "bubbles". The goal of the discussions is to get to know the different communities that make up Slovak society better, and to formulate specific recommendations on how to communicate about yourself and each other with respect.

Hosts: Olha Zhurba and Alona Kurotova

The event was realized with the financial support of the Fund for the Support of the Culture of National Minorities.
