On October 28, 2025 an educational event Súčasné podoby jazyka (“Contemporary Forms of Language”) was held on the premises of the Local Office in Považská Bystrica. The event was the outcome of close collaboration between the Local Heritage Museum in Považská Bystrica, the city of Považská Bystrica and the Ľudovít Štúr Institute of Lingustics in Bratislava.
Our colleagues Romana Krolčíková and Iveta Vančová participated in the event by giving an insight into linguistics and popularization of the Slovak language. They addressed the current challenges that digitalization brings to linguistic communication and discussed how Slovak is being formed and modified in the online environment.
The event was aimed to get schoolchildren interested in the Slovak language and its meaning in the present-day society, and to point out the importance of language and culture in the digital age.
