A busy week of activities in Slovenia

The Erasmus + project “Vulnerable Ecosytems” continues. After Kavala in Greece, we went to Slovenia to the Postojna Solski Center

Anaïs HAVET accompanied the group of 6 students (Phyléas, Louise, Maylis, Raphaëlle, Eva and Anaëlle) as well as Frédéric ROUSSELLE, Director of OEC International 

Here is the story she shares with us :

“Slovenia was for me a small country lost in the depths of Europe. I discovered a magnificent country, with incredible natural landscapes. 

Slovenia is a small country but its connections with Europe are numerous. The gastronomy, culture and architecture are a subtle mix of Slovenian traditions and Italian, Hungarian, Austrian and Croatian influences. 

Slovenians are very proud of their country and take pleasure in showing it to you. The Slovenian teachers had prepared a very rich programme, linked to our project, which allowed us to discover various museums explaining the geology of the region, tracing the life of the inhabitants, etc. They made us walk for miles and miles to discover the country. They made us walk for miles and climb mountains to discover the typical natural environments of the temporary lake region and the incredible views of the valley. 

Great importance is given to the preservation of natural environments. We were made aware of the different actions carried out to save the bears, lynxes and wolves. Not forgetting the karst area which is fantastic. In Postojna, our host town, there is the largest cave in Europe and the International Karst Institute. A great discovery for a science teacher who loves geology.
