From 2 to 13 June 2025, the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Instytut Slawistyki PAN) welcomed Dr Lara Sorgo of the Institute of Ethnic Studies in Ljubljana as part of the PLURILINGMEDIA COST Action project. During her Short-Term Scientific Mission, Dr Sorgo had an excellent opportunity to learn about media in minority languages and their revitalisation, and to exchange ideas with fellow researchers.
During her visit, Dr Sorgo gave a lecture to students of the Anthropos Doctoral School. In her lecture, titled “Between Policy and Practice: The Slovenian Model of Minority Protection”, she provided an overview of Slovenia’s minority protection model and presented empirical findings from research projects focusing on education, public administration and the media. Particular attention was paid to how radio, television, print, and digital media meet the needs of minority communities, with structured measures and practical challenges being highlighted.
ISS PAS organised a roundtable on minority language media. This scientific exchange provided a valuable opportunity to share ideas and obtain constructive feedback from experts in different research fields on MLM. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of minority language media in further developing and upgrading the theoretical framework of Dr Sorgo’s research.
