Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

On the special Christmas Day edition of Slovakia Today, we will hear from people, who experience the Slovak version of the Christmas holidays in the most unusual places. At least it might seem like that for some. We will speak to a catholic missionary, who has spent the past thirty Christmas holidays in cold and unwelcoming Siberia, but we will also spend time with a jolly and utmost welcoming Slovak community in Melbourne, Australia, where the Christmas mood has a literal heartwarming, or one would say heart-sweating fashion. Spending holidays away from your roots or loved ones is also the case of refugees that came to Slovakia and the civic association Mareena helps them to get back on their feet.
