In the school year, 2015/2016 Elementary School Milka Šobar – Nataša participates in an international reading project Reading knows no borders, which takes place between the Slovenian and Croatian schools. The goal of the project is to get to know the Slovenian and Croatian youth literary works. In addition to reading, the project also involves some research: exploring the history, culture and sights of the town the children come from.
Our partners are the students of the Centar za odgoj i obrazovanje djece i mladeži from Karlovac who came to us on a two-day event with focus on books and reading. On Friday, 22nd April 2016, we have welcomed them with a traditional Slovenian breakfast. After the meal a short cultural program followed in which our students carried out a Preseren rap song Where, a short puppet show of a story the Mirror by Grigorja Viteza, a Croatian youth writer.
We also visited the Bela Krajina Museum in Metlika, where we learned more about Bela Krajina and its inhabitants over time. After another short show about how the coat of arms of the city of Metlika got its shape, we then said goodbye untill next year.
