International Networking through OECD Workshops

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most valuable aspects of my participation in the OECD educational workshops as an FG3A member was the opportunity to build an international network with students and young people from different parts of the world. Throughout the workshops, conducted entirely in English, I interacted with participants from countries such as the Netherlands, India, Singapore, Portugal, and many others.

These discussions allowed me to exchange ideas, learn about different cultures and educational systems, and gain new perspectives on global challenges and opportunities. Working with people from diverse backgrounds improved my communication and collaboration skills while helping me develop a more international mindset.

The experience showed me how important international cooperation is in today's world and gave me the confidence to communicate effectively in multicultural environments. The connections I made and the knowledge I gained will continue to be valuable for my future academic and professional development.

As a member of FG3A, I have had the opportunity to participate in a series of OECD educational workshops conducted entirely in English. These workshops brought together students interested in discussing important global topics such as education, economics, sustainability, innovation, and public policy.

Another remarkable opportunity I have received is the possibility of attending a reception with the Ambassador of Slovenia. This invitation is related to our school's Europe Day project, during which my class represented Slovenia and prepared educational materials about the country.

The ambassador kindly accepted our invitation to visit our high school, where we will have the chance to present the materials and projects we created for the celebration of Europe Day. In addition, students will be able to ask questions and learn directly about Slovenia's culture, history, education system, and role within the European Union.

This experience is especially meaningful because it combines cultural exchange, international dialogue, and active student participation. It is a unique opportunity to interact with a diplomatic representative and gain a deeper understanding of a European country through direct conversation and engagement.

This photo was taken during the Europe Day (9 May) celebration, an event dedicated to the unity, diversity, and cooperation of the European Union. My class represented Slovenia, and we worked together to create a stand showcasing the country's culture, traditions, and identity.

As part of the event, we prepared presentations and participated in traditional dances inspired by Slovenian culture. It was a great opportunity to learn more about another European country while developing teamwork, creativity, and communication skills.

In my opinion, our stand was the most beautiful and well-organized of the event. We put a lot of effort into the decorations, information materials, and overall presentation, which attracted the attention of many visitors. The experience was both educational and enjoyable, allowing us to celebrate European diversity in a fun and interactive way while strengthening our sense of belonging to the European community.
