About Us
An African community hub in the heart of Slovenia — connecting cultures, supporting integration and building bridges between Africa and Slovenia since 1999.
Our story
Our journey began with the union of African students, planting the seed for the inception of our center. Formally registered in 1999, our center became active by 2001. Rooted in the collective spirit of Slovenia’s African diaspora, our center stands as a representative force, actively involved in vital matters concerning community integration and support within Slovenia. Our central mission extends to nurturing and strengthening relations between Africa and Slovenia, providing pathways for the introduction of African culture, fostering business opportunities, and championing collaborative initiatives.
From cultural showcases to educational workshops, engaging events, and community initiatives, we provide a platform for expression, learning, and collaboration. Through these endeavors, we aim to promote cross-cultural understanding, facilitate integration, and amplify the voices of our community.
