Wednesday, MAY 10 2017

We started today at the same time as yesterday, with breakfast at the hotel at 7:30. At 8:30am we left the hotel and took our mini-bus to the SZŠ a VOŠZ.

When we arrived, we first went into a big classroom where we were welcomed by the headmistress of the school. We also watched a short introductional video from Turkey, Italy and we prepared a short quiz about Slovenia. When the meeting was over, we had a short coffee break.

After the coffee break, we listened to a few check students who sang and played the quitar for us. It was relly nice! After that, we had our lunch and after the lunch we head back to the school where we started with the tour around the school. At lunch we made some new friends from the other countries.

First, we visited the Dental hygiene class. It was very interesting and fun because we got a model teeth and they tought us how to clean them properly with actuall tools used in dental hygiene offices.

Then, we went to the social work class, where a few students introduced their job and prepared a few short games for us.

Next was Jeremy. He is a Fulbright assistant teacher at their school. He shortly explained the Fulbright project and answered some of our questions. He was really nice and we were all so happy, because we got a chance to meet him!

And last, but not least we had our first aid class. There were 3 students who first showed us a video on how to give a proper CPR. Then, they showed us again on the dolls and then also some of us tried giving the CPR.

After than we head back to the hotel and had some free time. Me, Lara and Eva went to the Plaza mall, to look at the shops. After the short shopping we went back to the hotel and got ready for our dinner.

At tonights dinner we recieved our certificates. Also, the Italian team performed a traditional dance from their region; the Tarantela. It was really interesting, because we also tried to learn it.

Now we are slowly getting ready for bed, since tomorrow we are going to the capital city, Prague!

Današnji dan smo začeli ob 7.30 z odličnim zajtrkom v hotelu. Ko smo se dodobra najedli smo se z minibusom odpravili do šole. Tam smo najprej imeli predstavitev šole in predstavitve, ki smo jih pripravile ostale partnerske šole.

Sledila je malica, kjer so nas lepo presenetili in pogostili.

Ob 11ih smo imeli samopostrežbno kosilo blizu šole.

Po polnih želodčkih so sledile delavnice po šoli. Ločeni smo bili po državah. Slovenci smo začeli z delavnico o zdravstveni higieni in nadaljevali z socialnim delom, Jermy, prehransko delavnico in prvo pomočjo.

Po delavnicah smo imeli zopet malico in nato smo se odpravili z minibusom proti hotelu.

Do večerje smo imeli prosto, lahko pa smo odšli tudi na kratek voden ogled mesta.

Ob 19ih smo imeli večerjo in podelitev certifikatov.

Po večerji se je del skupine odpravil v fitnes in pridno porabil vso hrano skozi dan. :)

Erasmus+ TWLUWS; Czech republic; DAY 1&2

We started our jouney yesterday, Monday 8th of May at 5:45am. We loaded out mini bus with our luggage and hit the road. We drove for around 10 hours. The bus ride wasn't too long, and it went by quite quckly. We traveled from Slovenia, to Austria, Germany and finally Czech republic!

Upon arriving we got settle in the hotel, which is locate less than 10 minutes from the city, and after that we walked to the city centre and looked around the city centre. We than went back and went to bed since we were quite tired from the early morning and drive.

Today is Tuesday, 9th of May, our secod but first official Erasmus+ TWLUWS day!

We started it with a breakfast at our hotel and than with a walk to the city centre, where we had our official tour around the city. But it wasn't the usual tour, we got a special task; we got a few papers that had pictures of important buildings, and our task was to take our own picture and than later post it in the official facebook group of this project. Each country got a Czech student guide who helped us find the buildings. We took the pictures and found out a lot of new information! After the tour was over, we got a few quiz questions about the sights we visited.

Slovenian team with Czech students/our 'guides' for the day!

And a quick story behind this photo:
as I mentioned, we got pictures with sights/important buildings and then got more information on it. We got more information about all of the sights but one; the lady on the building behind us. Our task was to think of a story and explain why she is there; we came up with some really good stories but in the end the official tour guide told us that there is actually no real meaning behind the lady statue.

After that, we walked to the Pilsen Synagogue. It is the 2nd largest Synagogue in Europe and 3rd largest Synagogue in the world. The guided tour was very interesting, we found out a lot of information about the history behind it aswell as information about its state today. When the tour was over, we had lunch.

After lunch we arrived to the City council where the city councils welcomed us and gave us a presentation about Pilsen and the Czech school system. It is quite similar to ours.

When the presentation was over, we head back to the centre where we walked up the Pilsen Tower. There were many stairs and we were all very tired on the top, but the view was worth it! Than we went back down, got a guided tour around the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew.

After that we got a few hours of free time, and we spend that time editing pictures and the vlog.

At 19:00 we had our dinner and after that we head back to the hotel, where we watched Eurovision and got ready for bed!
