Izobrazevanje

jezika
Ustanovili smo potujoco
knjiznico, kjer si
nasi clani
lahko
sposojajo knjig.
Zbrali smo preko 300 knjig za razlicne vrste bralcev: romane, solske prirocnike, otroske
knjige, mladinsko literaturo, poezije, enciklopedije in
poljudno-znanstvene knjige,
da bi
tudi
na ta
nacin
obdrzali in izpopolnjevali
slovenski jezik.
Naslednji korak je sola slovenskega jezika preko interneta in ustanovitev
pevskega zbora.
Promocija
slovenske kulture
Namen
kluba je
tudi
predstavljati in
ohranjanjati
slovensko kulturo
med Slovenci v ZDA, predvsem
na
Floridi. Radi bi
predstavili
lepote nase
domovine
tudi nasim
prijateljem,
sodelavcem in znancem,
ki ne
govorijo
slovensko.
Tako bi promovirali
slovensko kulturo,
kulinariko in
turizem, ter
omogocili in pospesevali
gospodarsko
in turisticno sodelovanje s Slovenijo.

ENGLISH
SLOVENSKA PALMA Inc.
A non-profit organization uniting
Slovenian people by educating and promoting Slovenian culture and language
Purpose and Goals
SLOVENSKA PALMA was founded in August
2004 and
officially registered in Florida
for the purpose of uniting Slovenian people living in US, mainly in
Florida
. The main function of this organization is preserving the Slovenian heritage
by maintaining Slovenian culture and the Slovenian language. We are a group
of Slovenians, who would like to maintain our connections to our homeland and keep the Slovenian
uniqueness and pass these values to our future generations.
Gathering and Meetings of Slovenians in Florida
Our first official reunion took place
on
November 6, 2004 in
Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida. Over 80 fellow Slovenians and friends of Slovenian culture came from
Orlando,
Naples,
West Palm Beach
and
Miami
to join us at the meeting. Over one hundred friends of Slovenian culture
attended our second meeting in March, many from other Slovenian clubs. In
May we hosted students from Slovenia's College of Tourism and in June we
celebrated Slovenian declaration of independence. Our 1st anniversary was in
December 2005 where many prominent political and musical guests visited.
More and more Slovenians come to our meetings from all over the world. In
February 2006 we celebrated Slovenian cultural day where about 200
Slovenians came from all over Florida, Cleveland, New York, Canada,
Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Russia and Slovenia. We are planning to meet
officially at least four times a year, and thus continue preserving our
national identity.
Education and Preserving of the
Slovenian language
A mobile library is
established with the sole purpose of providing our Slovenians with novels
and textbooks in Slovenian language. We have gathered over 300 books for
children, teens, and adults (novels, poetry, science etc) and textbooks.
Next step are classes of Slovenian language on the internet, and the
establishment of Slovenian choir. This would enable us to preserve and
maintain continuous education in Slovenian language.
Promotion of Slovenian Culture
In addition to preserving Slovenian
culture among Slovenians, our plan is to promote Slovenian natural beauties
to our non-Slovenian speaking friends, co-workers, and acquaintances. In
such way, we are intending to promote
Slovenian culture and tourism, as well as establish a possibility for future
economic and business relationships between US and
Slovenia
.
