Marjeta Gojič
• Hi, my name is Marjeta. I'm a student at the Faculty of
Humanities in Koper. I chose the Intercultural Language
Mediation course programme because I'd love to learn new
languages and deepen my knowledge of Italian and English.
I've spent my life in a bilingual territory, so I've learned to
understand and cherish it's peculiarities. I hope that some day
my love for languages and my interest in the study of different
sociocultural backgrounds will help protect such cultural
environments.
I sincerely enjoy working with people. I'm curious, I love to feel
helpful and share my knowledge.
My idea of having a good time always includes creative
challenge and team working, so it is no wonder that along with
portrait drawing I got interested in the art of make-up and
spend my leisure time organizing and setting up photo shoots,
connecting with young clothing, jewellery, accessory
designers, independent film makers and musicians.
This project doesn't have to be just informative and educational
- let's make it fun :)

I'm a second year student and I study Intercultural linguistic mediation. My
goal is to help people understand each other because I think that this is the
first step towards a better world. This is one of the reasons why I have
chosen this study program. I speak Slovenian, Italian, English, SerboCroatian and a bit of German and Spanish.
I cannot stand conformism, especially mental conformism. This is why I
think in a socially critical way. I regard this ability as crucial in this mass
media overwhelmed society. My anticonformism is also expressed through
my appearance since I dress like an 80's rocker and wear long hair. I am a
free spirit and a dreamer. I have problems with strict hierarchies and I hardly
take orders because I think all people are diverse and equal.
I like going to rock concerts, listening to 80's rock music, hanging out with
my friends and taking walks in nature. I am also an activist. I think that we
are all obliged to leave the world in a better condition for the future
generations.

Kaja Favento Perkovič
• My name is Kaja Favento
Perkovič and I'm a 22 years
old student of Intercultural
linguistic mediation at the
Faculty of Humanities Koper.
I'd like to be an interpreter and
translator. In my free time I try
to spend as much time as I can
with my family and my friends,
go for a walk or grab a cup of
coffee. I consider myself an
open minded, friendly person,
willing to help others.

I am an 18 year old girl who above all likes stories. Whether they are in a
shape of a book, film, anime, TV show, it doesn't really matter, as long as it
is a good one. I'm a first year student of The Media Studies at The Faculty
of Humanities Koper. I was born in Kranj, so I had to move to Koper this
year. I speak English, Spanish, a bit of French and I just started taking an
Italian course.
I like reading science fiction, history, adventure and love novels, hanging out
with my friends and taking long walks along the beach or in the forest where
I can get inspired. I also enjoy watching animes, Japanese cartoons and
going to the cinema.
My way of expressing myself is throughout words. I manly write prose –
short stories and novels, but I've also started writing poems in English. I
believe art has a huge importance in our lives and I don't like people who
say that's not true and have zero imagination. I also can't stand phonies,
liars and people who have prejudices towards a certain religion, skin color,
nationality, etc.
My goal in life is to move to Ireland or Great Britain and live there,
surrounded with green grass, that's just so different from ours (our 'green
color' is not really green), nice people who have just an amazing accent and
of course, their culture which still believes in magic. I would like to work in
the publishing business, the press or maybe as an event planer or
something like that, where I could use my imagination and creativity.

Petra Hozjan

• My name is Petra and I am a first year student at the Faculty of
Humanities in Koper. I chose to study languages because they're

• I'm optimistic, easygoing, open minded and I love to meet new

bringing laughter or a smile to someone's face.
• In my spare time I love relaxing and doing nothing, taking pictures,
listening to the music, reading good quotes that inspire me and of
course hanging out with friends.
• Geez, now that I look at myself, I'm kind of average and boring
person, but I guess I'm pretty happy being me.

favourite one: »Let the things you love be your escape.«

towns’ local museum as a
receptionist to save money for my
passion which is traveling. My goal
in life is to visit all of the continents
(except for the Antarctic, because it's
too cold). Last country I visited was

do sports activities, but I try to go
running every morning to stay fit. I
would describe myself as a fun,
friendly and determent person.

Hello everybody!
My name is Zala Vuga and I'm a nineteen
years old student of Faculty of Humanities in
Koper.
I love being in nature because that's the
place where I can be relaxed and worriless
especially while riding or photographing.
My biggest wish is to travel all around the
world, to meet as many different cultures
and people as possible, to see the beauties
of our world and to experience the greatest
adventures ever.
Yet I must admit I love my city, I love my
country, its people, its difference because in
a day you can drive through many different
landscape seeing mountains, valleys, rivers,
caves and at the end you'll reach the
Mediterranean see. And exactly because of
this I would really like Slovenia to be more
known worldwide and that people would stop
confusing us with Slovakia or Yugoslavia.
