I'm from Škofja Loka. I'm 42 years old. I work in an NGO - Tri Institute and I cycle to work and back and I work approx from 8am to 4pm. In the afternoons I try to go into nature or to my garden.

I'm a bit emotional, because we just had the opening of our exhibition yesterday. An exhibition in the local museum that involved the whole community. The exhibition showed stories in diverse languages, with photos taken and stitched together by the new members of our community. Embroidered stories which we were creating for 3 months with these women.

Together with my friends, we have been organising conversation classes for women who have just moved to Slovenia. Once a week we host this class, where the women can learn Slovenian, but also where they have conversations while they do arts and crafts, and in that way build a community.

I admire how brave the Ukrainian women are, to travel all the way here. They are strong. They are fighting every day even though they have their husbands back home.

I admire a woman who moved to Škofja Loka from Kosovo and learned so much Slovenian language that she now works as a intercultural mediator.

I admire a woman from Russia who continued to come to our language classes after the war in Ukraine started and she met and spoke to women from Ukraine..

I admire all the women from the Balkans who don't have their war wounds healed but they come to our language classes and they learn together.
