Croatian High School from Korčula Trained in Folkecenter

These last two weeks have been quite busy in Folkecenter, as we got to organize a training programme for a VET school* from Croatia. Srednja škola Blato, that’s the name of the institution visiting us, is a technical school from the island of Korčula, situated in the Southern parth of Croatia.
The group consists of 8 young, but very motivated students (4 girls + 4 boys, all aged between 16 and 18), who are accompanied by two of their teachers: Ivana Biško (Physics) and Nela Žaknić (Biology and Chemistry); they were joined in some of their training activities by students from the Danish school of Tvind.
