Teacher (Kristina Dolinar Paulič) about project
beekids, 22:29h
I've been employed for 11 years at the Biotechnical School Maribor and I've always liked to take on new challenges and come up with crazy ideas. One of them was also bees. When we renovated the old beehive at home and started to be beekeepers, I also had an idea of having bees at school. The hives were set up and the bees flew around and Simon invited me to participate in the project We can bee friendlier to the nature. One day in May Simon introduced me to our new friends Polona and Sven from the cooperating school. Although we only saw each other for a short time, they made a good impression on me. Perhaps it was because of the queen bee, that I was going to insert into the hive that day. It was a good sign. In this year of beekeeping I have realized that bees carry out a lot of useful tasks - among other things, they bring people together.
Short after the meeting of the teachers and principals from Hamburg Simon invited me to the November exchange. I was happy and I am waiting for another unforgettable experience.
On Monday, 20th November, 2017, we drove away with two vans to the airport to Venice. The ride passed quickly by the sounds of entertaining folk songs. The flight was pleasant, and even more pleasant was the reception of students and teachers at the airport. It was followed by a joint dinner, an introduction day, the preparation of products for the market, fun afternoons. We learned languages and got to know each other quite well . We found out that together we could achieve more. There were new ideas, improvements, and our products were growing faster. On Saturday, the market place was full of products. Students were very good at selling. They also made a great raised bed garden. The most important are new friendships between our students. As a teacher I can be proud of all our students. They are reliable. They did everything and much more than we'd expected.
The week passed too fast and we had to go home. Thanks to modern technology and social networks, we have stayed in touch. We can exchange new ideas and experiences.
Thank you all, who helped to organize this week, as great as it was. Thanks for hospitality, advice,cooperation, fellowship and drinks. Thank you all, Polona, Simon, Jolanda, Marcus and especially to Sven. Thank you for all your time, which was spent only for us. Together we can make great products and amazing things happen.
