Established in 1951, the Slovene Emigrant Association is a voluntary and non-profit association of individuals who share a common interest in furthering the development of contacts amongst Slovenes living outside their homeland and maintaining already established ties with the homeland with the aim of preserving Slovene cultural, ethnic and historical heritage for all Slovenes abroad and future generations.


The Association assists with the promotion, organisation and exchange of Slovene cultural groups worldwide, and has also collected a variety of material relating to the existence and work of over 1,550 Slovene immigrant clubs and associations worldwide. Its longest-standing contacts are the established Slovene clubs, associations and institutions in the USA, Canada, France and Belgium; these were supplemented in the late 1960s by newly-founded Slovene migrant groups in (then) West Germany, Switzerland, Australia and elsewhere. In more recent times contacts have been made with Slovene migrant groups (rather small groups) in South Africa and Kenya, and since 1991 also with numerous Slovene clubs in parts of the former Yugoslav Federation.

The Slovene Emigrant Association has published the monthly magazine Slovenia.Svet since 1954. In 1987 it launched the English-language Slovenija, aimed at the children of Slovene migrants.

Since 1956 has staged the very popular annual Get together in our Homeland and the Trek to Mount Triglav.
