It was a lovely thing to meet all project members and a warm welcome from our Slovenian hostesses. The summer was still there, and it gave an extra nice feeling for the meeting.
The first day in Lucija followed the structure we had found good. We heard the results of the evaluation we had made about our Uppsala meeting. After that came the presentation of the Slovenian school system. It was followed an active discussion with lots of questions. Then we had a tour in the school and the pupils were excellent guides for us.

In the afternoon we saw a presentation of the possibilities of digital materials and environments in the education of the pupils. An active leading to the local culture consisted of Italian learning and national dancing. At the end of the day we heard a mother's story about her child's learning with dyslexia and the possibilities of the school.
Coffee, tasty lunch, fruits, juices and biscuits kept us working. Thank you for the first day!

For Tuesday the weather forecast promised rain with the probability of one percent so there was again a lovely day of visiting to begin. We were due to visit the Faculty of Education and Institute of Education in Koper, the Centre Elvira Vatovec in Strunjan and CKSG in Piran.
The bus trips Lucija - Koper - Strunjan -Lucija - Piran and walks in Piran gave us the possibility to see the landscape with the Adrian sea, nice houses, beautiful gardens, olive, kiwi and magnolia trees, vine yards, salt basins etc. During the day we learnt about the Slovenian inclusion, teacher education, and support systems for the children with different special needs like severe learning difficulties and hearing and language problems. As always a vivid discussions and a lot of questions followed the presentations. In the end we had a discussion about the targets and possible questions about our project.
We ended the day with a part of European history by walking in Piran.

The morning of our last project day there was a cloudy sky but the weather was warm. We had the opportunity to visit classes and see different ways of learning and teaching. After a short "where are we now discussion" we started our working groups. The work took place till afternoon. The digit group worked with Google Drive and website. We got clear information on what to do to get the materials in the right folders. It is important to name the file so that it is informative enough for people to get interested in. Dissemination is an important part of this project and it is important to put all activities on Google Drive. The importance of e-Twinning was pointed out. All the instructions will be in the minutes.
In the Google Drive there is a folder for the good pictures which can be published. Newsletter team has almost finished the work. Some feedback is needed to finish the job by next Wednesday. The blog is also almost ready. The glossary team has put the work in Google drive. The inclusion team had had a deep discussion about the concept and actually they had agreed those seven principles EU commission has worked with. The preparing of the closing conference began also. The toolbox team worked with sticky notes, they told us what had been seen which makes the inclusion more true. The group shared “the what to do list” in google co-operation.
Evaluation was to be done before the closing of the meeting. Next time we will meet in Finland!
