Slovene Reading Association
By way of organising events, for example, round tables, discussions, lectures, they strive to raise awareness of the importance of reading, as well as provide support and training to individuals involved in the teaching and research of reading. The association holds a biennial professional conference on 8 September, the International Literacy Day, and publishes the conference proceedings. Past conferences and round table discussions focused on topics like The Role of Visual Elements in Communication, The Development of Reading and Literacy in Schools, Developing Reading Competence.
