Short Desciption

This project bring together 6 Special Schools from EU all with a slightly different area of focus and expertise but all school are aware of the social isolation of their pupils. Our project aims to tackle this issue and enable our pupils to play a more productive and involved role in our European society. Our efforts aim to ensure we raise skill levels of these vulnerable students and have a direct and life long impact on the connectivity with society in general.

Pre-Christmas visit our pen pals from Varaždin – OŠ dr. Ljudevita Pivka Ptuj, Slovenia

On Monday, December 19th, 2022, students and mentors from Erasmus+ project »Get to know us« went to Varaždin. The purpose of our trip was to get to know Christmas Varaždin, and above all  to visit our pen - pals in person.

First, we drove to our partners school - Tomislava Špoljar Center. From there we went together to the old city center of Varaždin. In the city, each pen pals also officially met. Of course, we took photos of them on this occasion. Our Croatian friends then took us through the streets of Varaždin. Among other things, we visited Santa's House (Kuču Deda mraza), an ice rink with an ice slide, took quite a few photos and warmed up with hot tea.

At the very end of our meeting, our friends invited us to their place in the school for lunch. They also provided dessert. With all the hospitality, they said goodbye to us with beautiful gifts that will always remind us of our Croatian friends.

The day passed too quickly. It was a short but sweet meeting. We look forward to our Croatian friends visiting us during the carnival. We will do our best to be good hosts.

Thank you for a wonderful day.
