On Monday, we arrived at the school by bus. Then we all went to a classroom with all the other countries, there the Slovenian teachers made a introduccion about Ziri and the school. When that finished we played a little game to get to know each other better, after what we did a tour for the school. Then, we ate at the same school. In the afternoon we did a tour for the town, Ziri. Finally we were given a talk about Clothes Waste, the topic of our mobility.
On Tuesday we visited the shoe factory- Alpina, in Žiri. We learnt about its history and the history of this craft in Žiri. We talked about many different types of shoes. Then we went to the factory and saw all of the machines, which are used to make them. We talked about the materials they use to make them and about waste in other shoe factories. Then we went back to the school in Žiri.
After the visit to the factory, we went to school. There we developed some E-poster s about the lecture we heard the day before, but first we listened to the Slovenian teacher who explained how to do them. In the E-posters we wrote about the ways we can cut down on our clothes waste.

In Škofja Loka we went to Kreativni Center Kreativnice- Creative Hub, the activities consisted on stamping and painting ecological materials, they were explained to the students by Lili- owner of the atelier.
After having the experience of creating our own stamp materials, we went to Handicraft center DUO, where a worker showed us how to make wool.
Then we went for a lunch break, in the city.
On Wednesday afternoon we went to Bled Lake, when we arrived the teachers told us that we had 3 hours to do whatever we wanted.
At first, we all saw the ducks that were swimming on the lake, then we started feeding them with bread. After this we took a walk around the lake thinking about what we were going to do, some of us went to explore the hole lake walking for hours around it, taking photos... the other ones took the boat and went to an island on the middle of the lake, where they bought kremšnita (cream cake).
At the end of the day we all met, and got back to the hotel.
We felt free, because we were in a very natural place and having fun with all our friends.
24th of March Thursday
Today was a beautiful day. In the morning we took the bus and went to the school, where we learned how to sew and we did a piece with wool.
It was a very interesting day in which we learned a Slovenian tradition .
I think it was enjoyable but you must be careful and patient while you’re doing it.
After this, we met with international groups and prepared an article about the days of the Erasmus.
After lunch we did the presentations of the e-posters, they were about tips to reduce Clothes Waste that we had prepared on Wednesday.
In the evening we had lunch together and we were given the certificates of the mobility.
