The Varaždin Baroque Evenings (Croatia)

The Varaždin Baroque Evenings
The Varaždin Baroque Evenings  is a classical music festival held annually in the city of Varaždin, Croatia. The festival, first held in 1971, showcases Baroque music and is usually held in late September and early October. The majority of performances are held at various venues around Varaždin but some parts of the program also took place at churches and castles in nearby towns.
A number of Croatian and foreign soloists, opera singers, and philharmonic orchestras performed at the festival. In addition to music concerts, in recent years the festival also hosts various baroque-themed cultural events including art exhibitions, book presentations and gastronomic events. Three prizes are also awarded at the end of each festival edition: the "Ivan Lukačić Award", the "Jurica Murai Award" and the "Kantor Award".

„ Town of Angels“
Under red Varazdin roofs and in the corners of the town, little sky guardians found their peace. They came to Varazdin because they were tired and they decided to relax in the north of Croatia. The legend says that angles sleep in our little town. In December, in the most beautiful part of the year, when Varazdin is decorated with thousands of lights, angels are excited and they wait for the good people. They wait in the secret corner of the town called „Andelinjak“. „Andelinjak“ is placed behind the Francisan church and was made by  Zeljko Prstec – a famous painter from Varazdin who created and set up „A museum of angels“ in our town. He was born in 1950 and his guardian angels led him to find his calling. He is painting angels all his life. He has been developing his artistic projects and made the legend that angels sleep in Varazdin. So, if you look carefully, you can find them everywhere. On the main square, behind the churches, on the buildings and other places in town. You will find statues of little angels hidden somewhere in the center of our town.
I think it's really awesome to have a hometown where you can feel protected by your guardian angels and just feel the spiritual connection with God.

Conclusion On Netiquette

For the Erasmus 2018~2019 project, we made two posters about internet etiquette “Netiquette”. We made two of them, because we are an international and national school, which is why we created them in two languages, Slovene and English. The top three rules that we found, and thought were the most important are: 1.  Do not reveal your personal data, choose your password wisely and make it complicated. 2.  If you wont say it in real life, do not say it online. 3.  Think twice before posting a picture, because anyone can see it. In conclusion, by making these posters, we learned from them that you should be careful with social media. Especially, how you behave and what you post.

Action and Service Reflection May 2019- Austria

Undertake challenges that develop new skills The Erasmus+ Connected with the Environment Group basically focuses on collaborating and interacting with 4 other schools around Europe. It is a way to bring students together (with different cultural backgrounds and traditions) and challenge them in grouping with the other members, working effectively with one another and learning from each other through different ways. This is done through the different meetings which are organized for each of the four modules which every group from each school has to accomplish different objectives which might include: raising awareness, taking action, gathering data, researching, investigating and many more depending on the module itself and the specific objective that the student has decided to work on. As a member of this group, I think that the most important (if not one of the most frequent learning experiences used) which students have to face with is to undertake challenges and developing new...
