Slovenian youth receive recognition for literary and historical works

In Slovenia, young literary talents are receiving recognition for their contributions to culture and local history. Ana Vida Resnik from Medvode has been named the 'Uršljanka' of 2026 at the 25th anniversary of the Urška Festival of Young Literature in Slovenj Gradec. The award, selected by Dr. Nina Dragičević, was given to a text submitted under the code 'Sapfična' for its passion and unique communication with the world.

Separately, Urška Kavkler from the Poljčane municipality has published a book titled 'Ko je vas živela'. Originally a research project for her seventh-grade studies, the work evolved into a collection of testimonies, memories, and stories from local residents regarding life in Zgornje Poljčane. Supported by the Poljčane Municipality, the book aims to preserve the local cultural heritage and identity for future generations.
