How do Young Members of Slovenian Minorities in the Neighbouring Countries See Their Future?

Summary/Abstract: Slovenians live as indigenous national minorities in Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. Their status differs from country to country. Moreover, the young members of minorities also have different views on their future perspectives and different relations towards traditional minority organisations. In Italy, young people are involved in traditional organisations, whereas in Carinthia they are very critical about them and thus prefer to socialise in youth clubs. In Styria, Hungary and Croatia, there are very few active young members of minorities and youth organisations practically do not exist. The article illustrates how the young members of Slovenian minorities in all four neighbouring countries perceive different aspects of the organisation of minorities, especially political representation of the minorities and how they see their involvement in minority’s public life in the future. Firstly, the traditional organisation of the minorities is shown, followed by the visions of the young.
