By 5 October 2026No Comments

At the MOPS-9 Slovenian Language School, they are launching a new online lecture series titled Slovenian History of the 20th Century.

The course offers a structured overview of recent Slovenian history, from the early 20th century, through Slovenia as part of Yugoslavia and up to the early years of Slovenian independence. It will consist of three chapters, each delving into a period of Slovenian history in an informative, fun and engaging way:

  1. Chapter 1: Early 20th Century (90 minutes)
    From Occupation and Resistance to the Socialist Heaven of the Balkans

    20 October 2026 at 19:00 Ljubljana time (CET)

  3. Chapter 3: Slovenian Independence & Bonus Q&A (90 minutes)
    Extra Chapter devoted to Slovenian Independence, and everything you may have missed so far
    22 October 2026 at 19:00 Ljubljana time (CET)

The lectures will be delivered by Professor Aleksander Peklar, our resident history professor and the creator of the Izi zgodovina (Easy History) educational platform.

The lectures will be held online and conducted in English, so knowledge of Slovenian is not required. The course will be delivered in three 90-minute lectures, consisting of a 60-minute lecture and a 30-minute discussion.

Pricing:

  • The total cost for the series is 76.5 € (additional bank fees might apply if not paid from a SEPA region country)
