During the winter holidays (February 21-24), teachers from our school with their colleagues from CIRIUS Vipava, responded to the invitation of the Association of Special Pedagogy Serbia and attended the seminar “Days of Defectologists of Serbia” in Zlatibor. We learned about the novelties of education of children with special needs, actively participated in workshops, followed international presentations of professional works and paid special attention to the exposed examples of good practice, which we ourselves want to introduce into our work. We have established many new contacts with experts from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Macedonia. We will continue to respond to such invitations in the future as well.

On Friday, March 1st, 2019, the 29th Children’s Parliament was held in the municipal council room in Črnomelj. Two of our students, Alja Ivančevič and Simon Škof attended it. The main topic was “Education and school systems”. The debate went well, many good ideas about changes in the school system and wishes for a more friendly school were heard. Our representatives presented their views on the given topic passionately.

In the end, among the 15 pupils, 4 representatives were elected, who will attend the Regional School Parliament in Novo mesto on March 19th, 2019. Our Alja is one of them.

We congratulate Alja and we wish her to do well at the regional parliament.
