(English version below)

Avui hem viscut una jornada molt especial i plena d’emocions en la recta final de la nostra mobilitat Erasmus+ a Eslovènia.

Al matí hem anat a la plaça central de Celje, on s’hi celebrava una gran fira internacional, “European Village”, amb motiu del Europe Day. La plaça estava plena d’stands decorats i preparats per diferents escoles de la zona, cadascun dedicat a un país europeu. Hi hem pogut trobar manualitats, jocs, informació cultural, curiositats i propostes molt creatives relacionades amb cada país representat.

L’ambient era magnífic: música en directe, actuacions i espectacles de dansa tradicionals omplien la plaça de vida i color. La celebració ha estat tot un èxit de participació i ens ha permès aprendre moltes coses sobre altres cultures europees, compartir idees i, sobretot, conversar amb nois i noies d’altres escoles sobre els països que representaven, els seus costums i formes de vida. Una experiència enriquidora que ens recorda la importància de sentir-nos part d’una Europa diversa, oberta i connectada.

A la tarda hem visitat Ljubljana, la capital d’Eslovènia. És una ciutat relativament petita però amb molt d’encant, coneguda pel seu ambient tranquil, els seus carrers plens de vida i el seu emblemàtic castell que domina la ciutat des de dalt d’un turó. També destaca el riu Ljubljanica, que travessa el centre i dona molta personalitat a la ciutat.

Hem pogut passejar pels seus carrers empedrats, descobrir racons plens d’història i caminar tranquil·lament pel costat del canal, gaudint de l’ambient i de la bellesa de la ciutat. Sens dubte, Ljubljana ens ha enamorat amb la seva combinació de calma, cultura i elegància.

Al vespre ha arribat un dels moments més emotius del viatge: el comiat de la Nuša i la Tanja, les mestres eslovenes que ens han acompanyat durant tota la nostra estada. Han estat uns dies intensos compartint activitats, experiències i molts moments especials, i acomiadar-nos d’elles no ha estat fàcil.

Marxem d’aquesta mobilitat molt contents i agraïts per tot el que hem viscut. Han estat dies plens d’aprenentatges, noves amistats, descobertes culturals i experiències que segur que recordarem durant molt de temps. Aquesta aventura Erasmus+ ens ha ajudat a créixer, a obrir la mirada al món i a entendre encara millor el valor de compartir i aprendre amb persones d’altres països.

Ara ja sabem que no és casualitat que “Eslovenia” amagui la paraula “LOVE”: nosaltres també ens hem enamorat d’aquest país i de la seva gent.

Erasmus+ Mobility Diary (Day 6)

Today we experienced a very special and emotional day as we reached the final stage of our Erasmus+ mobility in Slovenia.

In the morning, we went to the main square of Celje, where a large international fair called “European Village” was being held to celebrate Europe Day. The square was filled with beautifully decorated stands prepared by different local schools, each one dedicated to a different European country. We found crafts, games, cultural information, fun facts, and many creative activities related to each represented country.

The atmosphere was wonderful: live music, performances, and traditional dance shows filled the square with life and color. The celebration was a great success and gave us the opportunity to learn many things about other European cultures, share ideas, and, above all, talk with students from other schools about the countries they represented, their traditions, and their ways of life. It was a truly enriching experience that reminded us of the importance of feeling part of a diverse, open, and connected Europe.

In the afternoon, we visited Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It is a relatively small city but full of charm, known for its peaceful atmosphere, lively streets, and its iconic castle overlooking the city from the top of a hill. The Ljubljanica River, which flows through the city center, also gives the city a very special character.

We were able to walk through its cobbled streets, discover corners full of history, and stroll peacefully along the river, enjoying the atmosphere and the beauty of the city. Without a doubt, Ljubljana captured our hearts with its combination of calmness, culture, and elegance.

In the evening came one of the most emotional moments of the trip: saying goodbye to Nuša and Tanja, the Slovenian teachers who accompanied us throughout our stay. We shared intense and unforgettable days full of activities, experiences, and special moments, and it was not easy to say goodbye to them.

We leave this mobility experience feeling very happy and grateful for everything we have lived through. These have been days full of learning, new friendships, cultural discoveries, and experiences that we will surely remember for a very long time. This Erasmus+ adventure has helped us grow, broaden our view of the world, and better understand the value of sharing and learning with people from other countries.

Now we truly understand why the word “Slovenia” seems to hide the word “LOVE”: we too have fallen in love with this country and its people.
