Cultural participation is one of the key aspects of social life. The aim of our study was to examine the frequency of cultural participation among young people in Slovenia, compare participation in Slovenian regions and to examine whether it is impacted by macro-regional characteristics. We analysed Slovenian Youth 2010 Study data, where the target population were residents of the Republic of Slovenia, who were between 15 and 29 years old Higher average levels of all five examined indicators of cultural participation were detected in regions with higher regional GDP, higher average gross income and better educational structure of the population, while associations with regional unemployment levels warried. Regional GDP and average gross income particularly increased the likelihood of more frequent reading and a greater interest in culture/art. We have also detected variability in cultural participation within the regions of northeastern Slovenia. Among them, Carinthia and Drava regions rank the lowest on cultural participation, while Savinja and Mura regions are at the top. Northeast Slovenia can therefore not be considered as a monolithic whole in terms of levels of cultural participation of young people.
