The long-term research of the state of traditional culture and institutional background of Slovaks living abroad by ethnologist Zuzana Drugová brings a deeper connection on the expatriate community and knowledge of the current needs and manifestations of the phenomena in question. As a manager of the Methodological Centre for Slovaks Living Abroad at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, she is dedicated to research various elements of the traditional culture of Slovaks in the “Low Land”. Special emphasis is placed on the specifics of their existence in the communities of folklore groups and as a motivating factor for the self-identification of members of the Slovak minority in the educational process. The paper provides an insight into selected aspects of the activities of institutions, personalities and of the presentation of the culture of Slovaks living abroad.
