🚀 Space, science, and Slovenian heritage — what a night 💥

Proud to be one of the supporters of an Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Washington, D.C. initiative — and we're thrilled some of our DC members got to experience it firsthand.

Events like this are a reminder of why we do what we do — connecting Slovenians in the U.S., supporting those building lives and businesses here, and proudly representing a small country with big stories — in space and beyond.

Members of the American-Slovenian Club (ASC) had the honor of joining a special gathering at the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Washington, D.C.., for a visit by Dr. Aleš Musar, First Gentleman of the Republic of Slovenia.

The event, held during his participation in the "Fostering the Future Together" program hosted by Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, sparked an engaging discussion on the rapid technological and social shifts impacting our work and schools. We found it particularly insightful to compare the educational approaches of Slovenia and the U.S., specifically regarding the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in education and the integrity of the data and information it relies on.

We also explored how these advancements will inevitably transform the roles of educators—shifting from traditional instruction toward becoming facilitators of critical thinking.

These kinds of exchanges ensure that countries grow stronger by sharing knowledge and navigating the future together.
