Mission and Objectives

ROZANA Association is Slovenian non-profit organization, established in 2009. Our mission is to promote cross-cultural awareness and fellowship between people in the Arab and Slovene culture through the cultures, arts and education.
As bilingual and bicultural educators, performers and musicians, we believe the best way to break down invisible cultural barriers is to bring people face-to-face with the most intimate and expressive components of each other’s cultures. Through the arts we are able to foster genuine understanding, respect, and appreciation between the diverse cultures of the world.
The Rozana Association benefits from a number of voluntary Arabs and Slovene advisers on dealings with Arabs and Slovenian institutions and audiences. These are friends of Arabs and Slovenia, private or public persons from various institutions who have supported the Centre in its endeavours by encouraging us to bring new ideas to life.
Rozana Center, besides the cultural activities implied by the name, also plays an active part in the social life of the Arabian community in Slovenia.
Generally, we organise informal meetings, where guests can come and have a good time in the company of their fellow Arabs. The events are open to all, regardless of nationality. Sometimes, the audience have to pay for the admission at the events but The Centre strives to keep the costs low, despite, at times, not breaking even.

Main Projects / Activities

In the year 2010 we are running the project of Arab Cultural Festival - Shams 2010 which is the festival of Arab films, music and dance, literature and art exhibition. We are cooperation with other projects: the rehabilitation of children of Gaza (organizing music and dance events, monthly activities for the members and public; Project of ESF (European Social Fund)- Training of the Arab community members for the Arab cultural festival.
