Slovak Society in Norway |

Czech - Norwegian Forum (Tsjekkisk - Norsk Forum) exists succesfully organizing Czech nationals and sympathizers. How many Slovaks are there in Norway? We are some 250 Slovaks living permanently in Norway, mainly in and around the country's capital Oslo. Although we do have some addresses from far up north. To compare: There are some 900 Czechs and more than 1.500 Hungarians living in Norway. We may joke about Slovaks being an exclusive nationality group. Slovak Society in Norway is the only organization for Slovaks in Norway. The number of regular members varies between 50 - 65 persons, mainly Slovak nationals plus a few Norwegians (mainly spouses). The year 2003 has seen a birth of a new society that includes Slovaks among their members, Norsk-slovakisk Forum in Oslo (Spoločnosť priateľov Slovenska). We meet 6 - 8 times a year. The informal gatherings are attended by some 20 - 30 persons. Social contacts among the country- men and women plus conversation in native language are important parts of these meetings. We have a library containing some 600 books that are available to the members for lending. Since 1995, we do publish a small newspaper - MiniBudzogán. Its task is to provide information concerning ourselves and our native country Slovakia and in this way cement togetherness and national awareness among us. Invitations to the Society's meetings are being sent to all members plus some 30 other country-men and -women. One year membership is 150 NOK for persons aged above 17. You will become a member by paying the fee to the account listed below. Please remember to enclose your name, address and date of birth with the payment.
