6th Transnational Teachers Meeting to Romania

The 6th meeting was not held in Turkey, as planned, but in Romania, due to various safety and political issues our Turkish partners had to consider. This is why Romania hosted us again from 7th till 9th March 2017.

The meeting was a very pleasant and relaxed one since we are approaching the end of three years together. This time we focused the most on the final reports, budget, questions regarding activities and the Mobility Tool platform.

Among other things we visited the city of Craiova, the Art Museum and Chatedral, as well as the ancient Romania houses in the open-air museum of Curtisoara.

Much of our time was also dedicated to the upcoming short-term exchange to Turkey, which could not be carried out in Turkey for various reasons, nor could Turkish colleagues come to Slovenia to offer workshops, so Slovenia was to organize the short-terms exchange for students with the help of other partner schools.

An outline of the programme was already delivered at the meeting in Romania, the details were to be discussed through email.

5th Transnational Teachers Meeting to Slovenia

A new school year brought about our 5th transnational meeting of teachers in the Erasmus project Career in Art. This time an ensemble of 22 teachers gathered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, at the Secondary School of Design and Photography to discuss the upcoming activities, the short-term exchange of students and other issues important to the project.

The meeting took place over 4 working days, during which we carried out two working sessions at the school, did a tour of the school, explained the typology of our studies, teaching approaches and artistic proficiency of students. Next, we carried out study visits to sights of national importance, such as the Church of the Holy Trinity in the village of Hrastovlje, the open house museum in Krkavče, the towns of Piran, Bled and Radovljica, where teachers got to know Slovenian history, culture, customs, art, architecture, crafts, folk tales and cuisine. We also visited the Beehive Museum, Plečnik’s House, the National Gallery, had a guided tour of the city of Ljubljana and ended our meeting at Metelkova by discussing art with the local painter, Apolonia Simon.

The meeting was a very pleasant one, since it brought together friends from 6 different European states. It allowed us to discuss and agree on the most important issues concerning our project and facilitate our future work. The meeting was an inspirational and creative one, since many new ideas were born during the 4 days of working together.

Next up is the short-term exchange of students to Ljubljana, Slovenia, which will be held in November 2016. See you there!
