UMD Programs in SloveniaThe University of Minnesota Duluth offers short-term programs to Slovenia. Culturally and demographically, Slovenia has been a border area throughout its history. Here, four linguistic and cultural groups of the European continent have been meeting: Slavic, Germanic, Romance and Uralic. The population of Slovenia has become more diverse in regard to its language and ethnic composition through recent decades but is still relatively homogeneous. Approximately 83% of inhabitants considered themselves Slovenes in the 2002 census. The International Student Teaching experience is an eight-week placement for early childhood, elementary education and secondary education candidates in varying country around the world. Students are placed in local or international schools, which provide a contrasting experience to time spent in classrooms in the United States. |
