In the following minutes we will talk a little about how life was in Slovakia. Way back in the past, when people in the villages of Central Slovakia kept solemn pre-Christmas customs, such as the searching for a shelter for the Holy Family. But before that, we will speak to the head of the Institute of Sociology at the Slovak Academy of Sciences about what life in Slovakia has been like for its inhabitants in the year 2021. The extensive survey with the name "How are you, Slovakia?" has been running for almost two years now, and it helps the public, the media and public institutions understand people's motivations for their behaviour.
