1st mobility - Croatia

From 29th September to

6th October 2013 we

were in the warm and

hospitable town of

Sibenik which is located

in Croatia on the Adriatic

coast.

Comenius Project called 'C Code to Common Future'

First we had to go to Split. We managed to see its oldest part, which is situated in the former palace of Emperor Diocletian.

And then we waited impatiently for

the bus that would finally take us to our

destination.

Day 1

On Monday 30th September we met all the project partners - Croats, Turks, Hungarians and Italians - in the Ekonomska School and had international workshops and classes on Human Rights, Mathematics and architecture, Ethics and environment, Therapeutical herbs and oils, Code letter and great inventors.

In the afternoon we played a city game in the medieval streets of

Sibenik.

On our way

there was the

town's most

famous

landmark - the

cathedral of

St. Jacob,

which has

been put on

the UNESCO

World

Heritage List.

Looking at the heads surrounding it, you can see what Sibenik's townsfolk in the 16th c. looked like.

We could see Venetian traces everywhere – wells, lions and fortresses

Next day our itinerary looked like this:

After a short summer break on land in the middle of autumn we were ready for a cruise back to Sibenik.

Next day our hosts took us to the beautiful National Park of the river Krka with its stunning waterfalls.

We also visited another island - Prvic, where we took a walk along the quiet streets of the sleepy off-season tourist resort.

And teachers took a group photo.

Apart from the Sibenik cathedral we saw one more place that is on the UNESCO Heritage List - the Old Town of Trogir.

We spent an unforgettable week in Croatia.

The spirits were high - during the day... .and late into the night!

Bye, bye hospitable beautiful Croatia. For sure we will come back!
