    - We followed with a workshop on traditional Slovenian dances in which the students were able to enjoy local music and folklore.

    - To end the day, the Slovenian students showed our students the sights of their city. Although the rain and the cold made the visit difficult, the beauty of the streets and the corners that Koper offers did the rest.

• Después de la bienvenida del grupo al instituto esloveno, se comenzó el trabajo para que los estudiantes retomaran el pulso del proyecto.

• Seguimos con un taller de bailes tradicionales eslovenos en el que los estudiantes pudieron disfrutar de la música y folklore local.

• Para terminar la jornada, los estudiantes eslovenos enseñaron los puntos de interés de su ciudad a nuestros estudiantes. Aunque la lluvia y el frío dificultaron la visita, la belleza de las calles y los rincones que Koper ofrece, hicieron el resto.

DAY 3 (Saturday, January 20):

    - After the copious snowfall of the previous day and night, as soon as we crossed the first hills into the interior of Slovenia towards its capital, Ljubljana, we encountered a snowy landscape and an extremely cold day that we were able to enjoy from the first stop.

• Tras la copiosa nevada del día y la noche anteriores, tan pronto cruzamos las primeras lomas hacia el interior de Eslovenia dirección hacia su capital, Ljubljana, nos encontramos con un paisaje nevado y un día extremadamente frío que pudimos disfrutar desde la primera parada.

  - Once we arrived in Ljubljana, we headed to the Castle, where a group of extras recreated the different stages of the city, from the Roman Emona to the present day.

    - Afterwards we had the opportunity to walk around the city and the students were challenged to look for all the symbols of a sustainable city they could find, from efficient, zero-emission public transport (bus and streetcar) to individual mobility methods such as bicycles and scooters.

    - Transfer to Bled, the lake that symbolizes the beauty of this country. Stroll around the lake and free time for shopping.

    - Return to Koper

• Una vez llegamos a Ljubljana, nos dirigimos al Castillo, donde un grupo de figurantes nos recrearon las distintas etapas de la ciudad, desde la romana Emona hasta la actualidad.

• Posteriormente tuvimos la oportunidad de pasear por la ciudad y los estudiantes fueron emplazados a buscar todos los símbolos de ciudad sostenible que pudieran encontrar, desde transportes públicos eficientes y de cero emisiones (autobús y tranvía) hasta métodos de movilidad individual como la bicicleta o el patinete.

• Traslado a Bled, el lago símbolo de la belleza que rebosa este país. Paseo por los alrededores del lago y tiempo libre para compras.

• Regreso a Koper

(Sunday, January 21):

    - Sunday the students spent together with families, who took the opportunity to take them to nearby villages on the Slovenian, Italian and Croatian coast.

• Domingo que los estudiantes pasaron junto a las familias, que aprovecharon para llevarlos a pueblos cercanos de la costa eslovena, italiana y croata.

DAY 5 (Monday, January 22):

    - First meeting to explain the day's work topics.

    - Visit to the port of Koper by bus. This is one of the most modern ports in Europe, priding itself on being responsible and respectful of both the environment and the people living in the surrounding area. Its goal is to reach as soon as possible not only new records of cargo movement, but also to do it in such a way that during the berthing of large cargo ships, they disturb the local population as little as possible.

• Primera reunión para explicar los temas de trabajo del día

• Visita al puerto de Koper en autobús. Se trata de uno de los puertos más modernos de Europa, orgulloso de ser responsable y respetuoso tanto con el medio ambiente como con las personas que viven en los alrededores. Su objetivo es alcanzar lo antes posible no sólo nuevos records de movimiento de mercancías,  sino también hacerlo de modo que durante el atraque de los grandes cargueros, estos molesten lo menos posible a la población local.

After the break, the Slovenian students presented to the group their work on the geographic, biological and marine characteristics of the Slovenian coast, as well as some projects for the recovery of protected species such as dolphins.

• Después del descanso para reponer fuerzas, los estudiantes eslovenos presentaron al grupo sus trabajos sobre las características geográficas, biológicas y marinas de la costa eslovena, así como algunos proyectos de recuperación de especies protegidas como los delfines.

To finish the day's work, the students went to the coast of Koper to collect water samples and analyze them in situ to see the levels of contamination in different wastes. As we could imagine from how responsible our Slovenian friends seem to be, the results were negative for nitrates, phosphates, and other toxic waste from possible dumping into the sea. Family evening with their Slovenian companions.

• Para terminar el trabajo del día, los estudiantes se dirigieron a la costa de Koper para recoger muestras de agua y analizarlas in situ para ver los niveles de contaminación en distintos residuos. Como podíamos imaginar por lo responsables que parecen nuestros amigos eslovenos, los resultados dieron negativo en nitratos, fosfatos, y otros residuos tóxicos provenientes de posibles vertidos al mar. Tarde en familia con sus compañeros eslovenos/as.

 Transfer to the Italian border town Gorica / Nova Gorica. When this town was divided in two after World War II and the Slovenian inhabitants remained in Italian territory, they built their new town next to the one that had been their town for centuries and today they are twinned and separated only by a street. In fact, during the pandemic, the mayors of both towns, belonging to two brother countries, collaborated so that entire families could hear from their relatives on the other side of the street.

    - Back to Koper by bus for a family break

• Traslado a la ciudad fronteriza con Italia Gorica / Nova Gorica. Cuando este pueblo fue dividido en dos tras la 2ª Guerra Mundial y los habitantes eslovenos quedaban en territorio italiano, levantaron su nueva población junto a la que había sido su localidad durante siglos y hoy están hermanados y separados sólo por una calle. De hecho, durante la pandemia los alcaldes de ambas localidades pertenecientes a dos países hermanos, colaboraron para que familias enteras pudieran saber de sus familiares al otro lado de la calle.

• Regreso a Koper en autobús para descanso en familia

DAY 7 (Wednesday, January 24):

    - The students were divided into two workshops: 

        ◦ one oriented to the elaboration of a logo that would capture the ideals of the project, the challenges that our young people are going to face in the immediate future: working side by side with European students to improve sustainability, inclusion and diversity.

        ◦ The second workshop focused on the development of an article to disseminate the same values mentioned above.

The final products of these workshops will be published on the internationalization web pages of the respective centers.

• Los estudiantes se dividieron en dos talleres: 

  • uno orientado a la elaboración de un logo que recogiera los ideales del proyecto, los retos que nuestros jóvenes van a tener que afrontar en un futuro inmediato:  el trabajo codo con codo con estudiantes europeos para mejorar  la sostenibilidad,  la inclusión y la diversidad.
