Slovenia

The Slovenian Association for IBD is organising a week of awareness activities from 12–19 May under the slogan "IBD Has No Borders: Breaking Taboos, Talking About It!"

They had produced three short educational films, funded by the Ministry of Health, which will premiere at a press conference on 15 May featuring expert input from a gastroenterologist, psychotherapist, and gynaecologist.

The highlight of the week will be a major event in Ljubljana on Saturday, 17 May, open to both members and the general public.

A purple-themed roundtable discussion will follow, giving participants a chance to engage directly with the experts on the social and emotional challenges of IBD.

Additional awareness-raising activities will include handing out informational leaflets at the Aleja shopping centre and illuminating the Fužine Castle in purple.
