TAKE THE QUIZ
In recent years, more and more people have been choosing to live abroad – whether for better opportunities, knowledge, or simply a desire for change. This quiz will help you discover if you think like those who leave their homeland, or if your values and desires keep you closer to home.

What our Fellows say
The greatest value of the fellowship for me lies in the lasting bonds and friendships that were formed during the visit and continue to this day. Becoming a part of the ASEF community means getting to know people who, despite living and working around the world, maintain a strong connection to and genuine sense of belonging to Slovenia.
This experience has truly been one-of-a-kind, and I’m incredibly grateful for it. This program is one of the best things I’ve ever done because it encourages personal growth, lifelong friendships, and a deeper cultural connection. It’s a chance to visit your homeland, discover your roots, and grow as an individual. Who wouldn’t want that?
If you’re considering applying for the program, you should definitely do it. It’s been an even greater experience than I could have imagined. I’ve gained so much from it, not only academically but also socially. Meeting other people of Slovenian descent who collectively value the culture and connecting with them here has truly been an amazing experience.
ASEF was one of the best experiences of my life, and I am incredibly grateful that I said yes to this opportunity. I would encourage anyone considering the program not to be afraid to step out of their comfort zone, meet new people, and try new things.
You will return from the fellowship with a clearer vision for your future career, numerous professional and personal connections, and experiences that will help you contribute to professional development and the co-creation of the ASEF community.
