A meeting is never just about hard work.

In Koper, we visited a youth centre, heard local legends about the city, enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere of the old town’s main square during a shared dinner, and even visited the Kino Otok film festival in Isola.

Research in local communities & schools has come to an end and we've gained several interesting insights. In the Slovenian case, for example, pupils enjoy artistic practices. However, they may view them as “just fun” activities (unstructured/chaotic), rather than as a legitimate educ. approach.

Stories in action📚🎭

Slovenian team finished this year's theatre club with the theatre play "Fairy Tales in Action." The creative process started with the children's idea to create their own fairy tale💡. From the first ideas, a story gradually emerged under the mentorship of Tina Rataj🎭.
