The Gift of Giving. Slovak Sound Check Episode 28. (22.12.2025 16:00)

from Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio · host STVR

The Christmas season invites us to slow down, look around, and think of others. We take a closer look at charitable initiatives and nonprofit projects that aim to make Christmas a little brighter for people in Slovakia facing difficult life circumstances, whether through social disadvantage, exclusion, or vulnerability. Through conversations with Simona Stančeková, project coordinator of Vianočný zázrak, Katarína Barošová, media manager at Človek v ohrození behind the Skutočný darček project, Silvia Slobodová, co-founder of Koľko lásky sa zmestí do krabice od topánok?, and teacher Mária Macharová from Trenčín, we explore how these initiatives work, what motivates the people behind them, and why even small acts of generosity can have a lasting impact. In the newest episode of Slovak Sound Check, Veronika and Lubna invite you to celebrate Christmas Slovak-style. Learn essential Christmas vocabulary, explore Slovak traditions connected with “Štedrý deň” and “Štedrý večer” (Christmas Eve), discover what Slovaks eat, who brings the presents, and what traditions belong to the season.
