About The Project

Project New Faces of Slovenia started as a part of another project titled Brez Ovir Do Enakosti (BODE), which means “No Barriers to Equality.” It is a fruit of cooperation with humanitarian organization ADRA Slovenia. and is funded by the Active Citizens Fund in Slovenia. In this project we are focusing on the advocacy of migrants’ and refugees’ rights in Slovenia.

In November 2023, we extended the initiative within the following project BODE+. This project successfully concluded in June 2025.

We expanded our goals and shared the total of 24 stories by our participants. New faces of Slovenia contribute to the intercultural dialogue with their honest testimonies on their challenges and accomplishments they are facing while trying to integrate into the society.

Giving migrants, who started a new life here in Slovenia, a voice, is a base to start a dialogue, and empower them on their path of self-advocacy.

New faces of Slovenia – Stories of newcomers in Slovenia

New faces of Slovenia bring personal stories of foreigners who have shared their challenges and achievements on their journey of integrating into Slovenian society. Sincere accounts provide an opportunity for reflection, and above all, they address the systemic issues that people are facing in various ways.

Read their stories. Meet new faces of Slovenia.
