Our Comenius Project Meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Viribus Unitis - help the world with joint efforts!
2013
From the very beginning I had big
expectations from this project. First of all I really love travelling so I was
very happy to be able to visit green Ljubljana.
Secondly – I was looking forward to meet new people, get to know their
culture, outlook and all the differences between our countries. The last from
the most important aspects was the language – I had a wonderful occasion to practise
my language skills. And so I did! Furthermore, I learned some new words in
Slovenian – “hvala!”.
Just as we arrived to Ljubljana, we
met our native guide – Jaka. Our group immediately found him very friendly. He
also had the same sense of humor, so every time we went out with him we had a
lot of fun. He also introduced us to his friend Daniel. And so we already had
two new native friends. On the second day the students of the hosting
school prepared for us a quick tour around the building, showed us the classrooms
where we could see how things worked and we could talk with the teachers.
During next few days we had a chance
to get familiar with students from other countries. Students that I personally
remember the most were from Czech Republic and Turkey with whom I had a
pleasure to work with during creating posters on recycling.
In the evenings we had enough time
to look around in Ljubljana, do some shopping and drink hot chocolate while
admiring the view of the city. The teachers also had planned a small tour to
the castle of Ljubljana, Predjama castle (which was simply breathtaking), and
Postojna cave where I took many photos. The great national Slovenian heritage
was presented to all ECO-PARTENRSJ
The most important and awaited parts of the
whole trip were our presentations. I was very nervous before our “Mineral
resources” presentation, but the audience was very sympathetic and full of
enthusiasm. Despite the technical problems, even our short play about Cracow’s
culture worked out nicely. I also had a chance to present some green photos
from Kraków taken by me to the participants of Comenius which was a big
pleasure and pride for me.
I would certainly wish to take part in such
event again. I also can’t wait to greet student from different countries here,
in Poland, and to listen to teachers from India and the USA as they are going
to visit our school soon.
I would like to thank for this chance, and I
hope to come to Ljubljana once again in the future.
