Our stay

Our Comenius expedition is in Croatia. After an early beginning, they arrived at Varazdin in the early afternoon. They will spend the day with their colleagues and their families and on Monday they will begin with the photography workshops.

Despite being a Sunday, our expedition in Croatia had the first working session today: they met at the institute and then they went to visit the city, seeing the old quarter, the museum and the City of Angels. Later they had the official reception in the Town Hall.

Today our representatives had to do a bit of work. To begin with, they went to the institute where they did a series of ice breaking activities to know each others. Then it came the presentation of the participant schools.

In the afternoon they rode bicycles to go to Drava river and, at the same time, they took advantage of this to take landscape photos. It looks that they are enjoying the experience.

Ah! We also know who won the competition this time: Poland. Now it will be their turn to settle the subject for the next visit.

Today our representatives enjoyed a very complete day. In the morning they continued with their photography course, this time visiting the Trakoscan museum where they followed a course of landscape photography and they had the opportunity of knowing the history of photography in Croatia.

In the afternoon they went on a trip to the mountain, to Ravna Gora. After a time in this place taking some photos, they returned to Varazdin.

It was nice to share these experiences with new friends!

During the morning the activities have been centred in the preparation of the exhibition, that will open to the public in the afternoon in Town Museum Varazdin.

Other of the activities was the evaluation of the project and its outcomes.

At night students and teacher are having dinner together.

Our team had today their last visits in Croatia. They left in the early morning to visit the Neanderthal Museum in Krapina. Then they went to Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, to do a tour divided in two small groups.

Later they went back to Varazdin in order to spend their last night together in their families. Tomorrow morning they will have a farewell meeting at the institute before starting their return home.
