Final Meeting
Comenius – Eusola
18th-22nd
April 2012
Srednja Sola Crnomelj
- Slovenia
The project final meeting
took place in the beautiful town of Crnomelj, Slovenia.
Črnomelj is a town and municipality in
southeastern Slovenia and is at the heart of the region of White Carniola.
The hosting school of
Srednja Sola Crnomelj (School in Crnomelj-Slovenia) turned the
participation and the stay of students and teachers from twelve countries, into
a unique experience and an unforgettable memory.
The Slovenian
teachers and especially Alexandra Kocevar and Marta Strmec made every possible effort to offer a warm traditional hospitality and
a special treatment to everyone.
Alexandra Kocevar was the
chief in charge of this remarkable
event. She smiles happily at her success.
The project under the
title «EUSOLA (European Solidarity in Action) – Humanitarian Aid Project in a
region outside the EU» focused on raising awareness of the position of
underprivileged countries and the work of humanitarian organisations and put a
joint humanitarian project into practice.
Teachers and students all together, were excited to welcome all their friends from so
many different parts of Europe.
The great benefits of
such projects in building a common goal and a European identity is obvious and
there is no need to enhance further thoughts on it.

Multi-talented Monika
Bracika sketched this representation of the lesson in a real classroom
of 1950.
Monika Bracika explains that if we look back into
the 1950's soon after the war, the major emphasis in teacher preparation
involved classroom control.
Teachers having the unique opportunity to learn about what it was like to be a school
pupil at that time...
It's hard to believe how time flies, but when you come
across a real classroom of 1950 you are almost shocked.
Alexandra Kocevar Congratulations-you did it!
You deserve our appreciation for the excellent idea to bring all of us here to
study a little bit of Slovenian history for an hour...
Learning about the
rich history and culture of Slovenia.
