Every Erasmus experience is a source of inspiration and exchange for me, and the defining characteristic of this wonderful experience was a relaxed time for learning. First and foremost, the fact that students go to school in slippers suggests the idea of ​​sharing not only knowledge but also social skills and relationships. Indeed, the Slovenian school system is committed to educating the citizens of the future not only in knowledge but also, and above all, in the essential social skills required by the world of work. Being able to attend multiple lessons allowed me to understand that the focus of teaching is on the individual, with their needs not only in learning but also in relational and social skills.

In my future plans, I will certainly try to incorporate the valuable organizational and teaching tips I learned from this Erasmus experience!

Dobre dan! Our visit to the Slovenian partner school was an outstanding success, exceeding all expectations. I am fully satisfied with the facility, which perfectly embodies the "Green" spirit. The most striking feature is the architecture: the expansive glass walls create a seamless connection with the surrounding nature, fostering a serene learning environment.

Furthermore, their educational methods are truly inspiring. The combination of a highly flexible schedule and a strong emphasis on practical activities allows students to engage deeply with the curriculum. This hands-on approach, integrated with the natural landscape, represents a model of excellence in modern, sustainable education. During my Erasmus experience in Mirna Pec, I truly appreciated the lessons held by my literature colleague, Barbara. Not only did she introduce us to the great Slovenian authors, but she also taught us some words in this wonderful language, allowing us to truly connect with the local culture. Furthermore, I was deeply impressed by the professionalism of the Principal, Mrs. Sanja. Her leadership and dedication made my time at the school an incredibly rewarding and professional experience. I will cherish these memories and the lessons learned during this unforgettable journey. Thank you for everything! Nasvidenje!

Indoor and outdoor

"During my visit to the Tone Pavček school, I was immediately struck by the staircase in the entrance hall, which also serves as an arena and a gathering area for students during their breaks. The relaxed and peaceful atmosphere felt throughout the school suggests that civic-mindedness and autonomy are deeply rooted in the students' education and in their conscious adoption of the rules of social coexistence.

In terms of structure, the school is surrounded by greenery, and its large windows allow one to fully experience a sense of total communion with nature. The large library, located at the center of the school, felt like the beating heart of all educational activities. I was also very impressed by the activities carried out in both the classrooms and the laboratories; what struck me most was the active participation of every student during the group-based lessons.

I would like to thank the staff for the warm welcome we received, and I look forward to returning the hospitality when you come to visit us.
Wishing you all the best in your work."

Slovenia: a ultimate "Green Erasmus" experience!

At first glance, I was absolutely astonished: your school is such a wonderful place! It must be incredibly rewarding and comfortable to teach in an environment like that. The atmosphere manages to be relaxing and energetic at the same time, and you are literally surrounded by nature. Throughout the building, the lawns and forests are visible from every room thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

During the days we spent together, I truly admired your passion for outdoor activities, which clearly helps students manage academic stress. It was also fascinating to witness your teaching style firsthand; it has significantly broadened my understanding of European partner school systems. Beyond the classroom, I deeply appreciated the caring environment you foster in both your daily school life and your beautiful towns.

It has certainly been an intense and unforgettable week! You were all so kind to us—students and teachers alike—generously spending your time with us and being so welcoming and friendly. This was, without a doubt, the ultimate "Green Erasmus" experience!

We are now eagerly waiting for your visit to Italy. It would be our absolute pleasure to host you, your colleagues, and your students.

Sharing our mobility experience at your school has been an incredible journey of growth and discovery. From the very first moment, we were struck by the serene atmosphere of the building, where the large windows and the cozy "slippers tradition" reflect a deep care for student well-being. This mobility has been a powerful immersion into a school system that masterfully balances academic learning with autonomy and a profound connection to nature.

Our students truly lived the spirit of international cooperation, working alongside Latvian and Croatian peers in activities that ranged from "outdoor math" in the forest to creative workshops like crochet and painting. We particularly appreciated the emphasis on Physical Wellness, especially during our 12km trek around Mirna Peč, which showed us how the environment can become a living classroom. Moreover, exploring the sustainability of Ljubljana and the cultural heritage of Tone Pavček provided us with inspiring examples of European citizenship.

A heartfelt thank you to Sanja and the entire staff for the warm welcome and the enriching exchanges in the staff room. We are leaving with hearts full of memories and new pedagogical perspectives to share with our community in Italy!

The atmosphere in the school feels almost surreal: wide spaces shared by all, where children of all ages interact like in harmonious dance, bright classrooms with large windows that truly inspire. Even the sound of the bell brings joy, marking the rhythm between focused work and play, leisure or snack time. The use of slippers at school is something that we can find almost unthinkable to implement but is so beautiful to see...it radiates a true feeling of being at home. The laboratories allow students to put the "knowledge of doing" into practice, and the classrooms are filled with useful, engaging tools. The children, raised with a wonderful sense of autonomy, were curious, smiling and welcoming toward us, as well all the staff we met during our visits. The canteen food could be improved but, as we say, nobody's perfect!!

Great work!

All the best

My experience at your school was wonderful. I was very impressed by the outdoor learning activities, such as the one in the fotest. I also enjoyed sharing workshop moments such as the crochet, painting workshop and recycling.

Thank you for your welcome and hospitality.

# data[].attributes.body
I must confess that my knowledge of Slovenia was perhaps incomplete—limited, perhaps, to the fact that it is the homeland of so many great sports champions, an impressively high percentage given its size. Now, after an unforgettable week spent at a wonderful school like Toneta Pavčka Primary, surrounded by colleagues who welcomed us with truly remarkable empathy, I am certain that Slovenia is a GREAT country because of the values it embodies.

The "forest pedagogy" (which particularly struck us) and the wide-open views from the school's large windows are just a few of the aspects that made this week so memorable. Beyond that, it was the landscapes, the lush greenery, the cuisine, and the overall sense of freedom that stayed with us throughout these seven days.

What can I say? Thank you, Slovenia; thank you, Mirna Peč; and above all, thank you to the Toneta Pavčka Primary School.

# data[].attributes.body
Once again, Erasmus allows us to discover new horizons and gain new skills, this time with a special added value: Slovenia, its people, its forests, and its culture.

The school that welcomed us, named after a great Slovenian intellectual, truly has a soul. It is deeply immersed in its surroundings, with large windows that open up to the woods and the village of Mirna Peč.

The two days spent with the kindergarten children and my Slovenian colleagues were particularly rewarding. I truly appreciated a teaching philosophy that prioritizes the psychophysical well-being of the students, especially through the educational use of the surrounding forest. The empathy was both evident and engaging, giving profound meaning to this entire experience.

My sincere thanks to the Toneta Pavčka Primary School for the warm welcome and the opportunities provided. Broadly speaking, it has been an unforgettable week in Slovenia—a country that may be small in size, but is truly great in terms of opportunity and culture.

I have had a wonderful experience in your school.  We experienced a school organization different from ours, where great importance is placed on  ecosystem. The lesson  held in the forest, as well as the fitwalking in a truly relaxing natural setting, demonstrated that your country is very attentive to the environmental protection and the personal well-being..

I also enjoyed sharing moments in  art, crochet, recycling, and cooking workshops and  attending lessons on different subjects. Thank you for your warm hospitality!

Before arriving I was so excited. I had a lot of expetations, like how Will be the school or how will be the students; I hoped they were funny because I love this type of person. The Slovenian Students were very nice and kind with me. The lessons were beautiful and motivating. The Slovenian food was so nice: I like trying new things. I felt shy at the beginning. Then I was Happy and enthusiastic . I made a lot of Friends during this week, mainly during the walking organized by the school. I shared a very good time with the Slovenian Students because they were so friendly with me❣️

Before leaving I was a Little bit worried because It was the First trip abroad without my family. I expected to find a small school. When we arrived the principal greeted us and also Slovenian Students. They often had lesson in the foresta; they had a lot of breaks. I was Happy to have eaten in the canteen, because we don't have It. The emotions I felt were very positive: happiness ti works i groups and curiosity to know new things. My curiosity were: students in slippers, the bell playing a Song and the lunch at the canteen. During this week we made Friends with some some boy and girls from different countries. Because of my anxyiety, in some moments, I didn't have a chance to have relationship🥹

Before leaving I was afraid I wouldn’t make friends and I could miss my family.

The hospitality at school was warm and engaging. I liked the typical dessert pomegrande juice they offered us. I attended Slovenian and maths lessons that I liked a lot. At the cantine the food was very different from the italian one. The different things were slippers instead of shoes; the bell like a song; the work in the nature. Slovenian students are friendly and I Made friends in a short time: I explaned her my school routine and she tought me some Slovenian Words. I will never forget my Erasmus experience!!!

Before leaving I had many expectations about our trip, such as a nice school, different traditions. Among the new things that cought my curiosity were the school timetables and the class which were very different from italians. I found a new friend and we shared our contacts. I also enjoied the workshops. ♥️

Before tha trip I was happy and enthusiastic but also a little anxious. The ospitality was friendly and warm. I attended lesson of slovenian, arts and cooking. It was very beautiful and interesting. We ate in the cantine, the food was particolar and different from the italian one.

I expected for this Erasmus a beautiful and joyful experience that would remain in my Heart. They welcome us with traditional sweets and introduced us to the school. Teaching method was very interesting. I did many different activities. I mad a lot of fun with my new Friends. In the Art lesson I drew on wood the characteristic elements of my country with my Friends, but I would have seen all Activities! The lunch was good; I likes trying new food! I was Happy and curious to learn new things and I was curious to see Slovenian Students. I knew a lot of people so kind with me. With slovenian students I did crochet and others workshops. I❤️Slovenia.

Before arriving in Slovenia I was pensive about was I would find. When I arrived at school all teachers and students were so kind. I attended slovenian lesson and the teacher tought me a lot of new words in Slovenian. During the art and the crochet class I could share nice moments. At school I had the chance to know croatian, latvian and some Slovenian students. I found interesting to see the guys in slippers and different class for each subject.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the school would have been very different and I wouldn’t been able to communicate well. The students in the school and the teachers were very nice with us. The cantine was a new experience, the food was different. Lessons in Slovenia were very ubique and interactive. We worked in groups and we had lessons in the forest. I was very shy, scared and at the same time excited and curious. Slovenian people were always very nice. Slovenia is considered the country of love and schools are very big from kindergarden to middle school. I didn’t actually “exchange” with other slovinian people. I only did it during lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I was Happy to be in a different school! The welcome was great. The lessons I attended were Slovene and Maths; the teachers were kind and skilled. The lunch at the canteen was a good moment, but the food was different. At the beginning I was sad, but then I was Happy and entusiastic. The kids wore flop flop instead of shoes at school and the sound of the bell was a Song. In this school I made new Friends, like Mia and Stella

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the school would be smaller. It was equipped with games and activities to know the Slovenian. They welcomed me with courtesy, helpfulness and kindness. I think they have a more creative, constructive and partecipatory teaching style. The food in the cantine was very different. My emotions were: shame, amusement, happiness, embarrassement and amazement. Many things intrigued me: slovinian students were wearing slippers in the school and the ringing of the bell. I didn’t make many friends, but I talked a bit with the slovinian students.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed my time at the school here. It is quite different from our school back home! Two things really stood out to me: first, students wear indoor slippers inside the building, which makes the atmosphere feel so cozy. Second, instead of a loud, traditional bell, they have music playing to signal the start and end of lessons!

The school also has a very large and modern library that impressed me. Most importantly, the students were incredibly friendly, which made it so easy to work together in teams. Overall, this Erasmus+ experience in Slovenia has been amazing!

I loved visiting the school in Mirna Peč during my Erasmus experience because it gave me the chance to meet new people, learn about a different education system, and feel welcomed by everyone there. The atmosphere at the school was friendly and supportive, which made every day enjoyable and memorable. One of my favorite parts of the Erasmus trip was traveling to many beautiful places around Slovenia, where I could see amazing landscapes, charming towns, and experience the local culture. Visiting so many Slovenian places made the experience even more special and helped me create unforgettable memories that I will always cherish.

My experience in Slovenia during the Erasmus+ project was really great. I liked that the school was quite different from my school, but at the same time also similar in some ways. One thing I really enjoyed was that during breaks we could go outside, and there were actually things to do, like swings and other activities. The lessons and activities were interesting, and the students were very kind and friendly.

Overall, everything was very nice. The school lunches were very unusual compared to what I’m used to at my school, which made the experience even more interesting. I also liked that we didn’t have to stay inside the school all the time, because there were activities outside of school as well. I learned and saw a lot of new things, and this experience was really valuable for me.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly this school I would say was complete contrast to our school. It was really colourful which I wasn’t expecting. Maybe school lunch wasn’t really for me, but that’s okay because I am used to a little bit different food. I really liked that we could see how younger students learn and attend their lessons. Also a big plus was that not all day everyday was just being in the school and going nowhere else. We went to I would say, quite a lot places outside of school. Overall, this was a great and unique experience for me.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first saw this school from outside, I never expected how would interior look. It's really astonishing and truly feels like school. What mostly stood out for me is the various art on walls, it's everywhere you look.

Sure, the lunch wasnt the best for me, maybe not used to it, but it was somewhat good and different from ours. Not like to brag, but our school lunch is better. OH MAN, that definitely is bragging, isn't it?

The people were helpful and fun to work with during activities.

I loved seeing expanded possibilities of normal lessons, like younger classes able to go right outside from class and be creative or just go to forest near school. Also not being able to use phone in school at all is crazy, yet probably effective. It's not something new for me as our school also has same restrictions, but only till 4th or 5th grade if I'm being correct. Nice way to get more active and do something useful.

Don't want to conclude everything so surely as I'm pretty sure I still haven't seen 100% of potential this school has to offer.
