The first, Ljubljana, is smart and appealing. The second sis- ter, Bled, is unbelievably pretty. The third sister, Maribor, is not so stunning at the first glance, but she grows gently on you. You cannot easily forget her or her fasci- nating history. During the student mobility in Maribor, we took our guests to the city centre of Maribor. They took part in a MEDIE- VAL MARIBOR TREASURE HUNT. They walked around the city in four groups. We gave each group an envelope in dif- ferent colour (blue, green, yellow, red). They started their journey in different Hosting peers from abroad, Večer, 12th October 2018 places. On the way, they had to solve dif- ferent riddles, do different tasks and find all the hidden pieces of the Slovenia puz- zle that were hidden throughout the city. The aim of the game was to find the se- cret meeting place, where all the groups met in the end. Many tasks included tak- ing photos and shooting videos. In order to complete the tasks, the students had to use their mobiles to post the photos and videos in a specially created Viber group or on the project’s public Face- book site, Erasmus+ We are our future.

The project coordinators from all seven counties gathered to come up with a mutual plan of action. The main goals of the project work were equipping the students for the rapidly changing cir- cumstances of life in 21st century, which means helping them to become autono- mous in their schooling and in everyday life and to make responsible and informed decision regarding their choice of studies and work. Consequently, we would gain competent, flexible, responsible and confident students, capable of facing the chal- lenges in the future. When planning different activities, our goals were as following: • enriched school programmes, experienced and skilled teachers, • new international friendships, • European approach to teaching and learning (innovative and efficient methods that deal with students` individual needs and constraints), Students getting ready for the mobility in the Netherlands, 2018 • increased autonomy in the students’ study methods and making choices regard- ing their work orientation, • students with well-developed cross-cultural, social, communicative (interper- sonal and digital), collaborative and research skills, • autonomous, responsible, confident and flexible students and teachers, • global awareness, teamwork and the feeling of citizenship, solidarity and fellowship, • improved level of English with students and among teaching staff, • cooperation with socially active organisations, local politicians and NGOs. 145th ANNIVERSARY BOOK OF LUDVIK PLIBERŠEK PRIMARY AND LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL MARIBOR AND LOWER SECONDARY BOOK OF LUDVIK PLIBERŠEK PRIMARY WE ARE OUR FUTURE! 145th ANNIVERSARY

I noticed that the school has a large base with well-equipped classrooms and businesses. So far, I have not tried a cuisine like this in France, the food was unusual for me, but when I got used to it, it was delicious. I have learned about the culture of France. As for the the project, I learned some easier learning methods.’

Maria Todorova (12), Bulgaria

‘This project helped us with learning a lot about ourselves and learning a lot about other people, their languages, customs, school systems and culture in general. For a week we experienced how other teenagers live; we were acquainted with their everyday life and we learnt a lot from that. One of the things that I’ve learnt is that although we spoke English (the hosts and the guests) we still found ourselves in sit- uations where we couldn’t fully understand each other, but there are various ways to communicate other than language. I think that when you go abroad, it is impor- tant to step out of your comfort zone and not shy away from going out, experienc- ing new things, trying new food, meeting new people. By doing so you share your culture and share and extend your knowledge. But most importantly, when you go abroad, you learn to accept other people and foreign cultures, so it helps you in becoming a better person. Going to France and hosting was truly a wonderful ex- perience and if I get an opportunity, I will love to work with Erasmus+ in the future.’ Coordinators of the project and accompaning teachers, France, 2017 Ela Šmirmaul (15), Slovenia

‘On the trip, students of our school connected, because we had lots of fun and we helped each other. We are also going to keep in touch with the Dutch and are go- ing to hold them in a nice memory. Visiting Pont d’ Arc Caverne cave, where we saw the oldest cave paintings in the world, was definitely one of the things we will remember for a long time. We were very happy with the families that were hosting us. Despite the weak level of English by the French, we had a good time and we became friends. We would all recommend travelling to other countries, because Kohen Jelsma (16) presenting the Dutch we learned lots of important lessons, for example, that we need to respect what we students' study habits, France, 2017 have and that it is easier to get to know new people if you’re not afraid. Moreover, 145th ANNIVERSARY BOOK OF LUDVIK PLIBERŠEK PRIMARY AND LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL MARIBOR AND LOWER SECONDARY BOOK OF LUDVIK PLIBERŠEK PRIMARY WE ARE OUR FUTURE! 145th ANNIVERSARY we realized how different schools and teaching methods around Europe are.

We usually hate homework. An anonymous student (15) Who wants to do any schoolwork after school? Homework actually stands for Half of My Energy Wasted on Random Knowledge. Moreover, why do we have to start school so early in the morning? It would be a lot better if we could all sleep longer. Why are the breaks and holidays so short? We need time to rest.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you the se- crets of that kind of ‘studying’, since we still hope not to be caught cheating. We are often just too lazy to listen to the teachers talking about history, geogra- phy or other subjects. Therefore, we might even decide to skip some classes.

The teachers arrange two meetings with them a year earlier, so that they have enough time to get used to the idea of going to school. In Janu- ary this year, they exercised with them in the school gym, along with Snowhite and her dwarfs. In April, they had a sto- ry time workshop. The school librarian, Sonja Antolič, chose to tell the children the story about a mouse that was looking for a friend. Little Mouse was there too. st Ludviks-to-be listened carefully and co- 1 grade students building and creating, st operated in the storytelling.

We asked the youngest students to write messages for the older students. Here are their wishes and thoughts about the future at Ludvik.

There are three Math teachers at our school, Bojana Mihocek Peklar, Jordana Koren and our new hand Nejc Barovič. They are a well-coordinated team that loves challenges and takes great pleas- ure in teaching mathematics and con- necting it with other natural sciences. The aim of Math is not merely preparing the students for their further education, but also making them aware of the fact that Math can be a great tool in every- day life. We come across mathematics on every step, so it is useful if we are able to use it as such. That is why it is important to emphasise its applicable value. How- ever, one should not forget that it comes in handy if one is persistent, precise, and Math competition certificates, 2017 consistent and fulfils their duties in con- Playing cards in the sun (Gifted and Motivated Students' Camp, nection to it as they go along.

They also went on an adrenaline bike tour into the Mežica mine of lead and zinc. It is an amazing tourist attraction. In the evenings, the students went for a night walk and played different games or hung out with one another.

Mountain climbing has been a tradition at Ludvik taša Luković for a long time and thus there is a Moun- tain-climbing School Club for students aged seven to fourteen. The mentors of the club are Urška Kosi and Nataša Kosi. The mentors arrange visits to some of the most beautiful and famous places in and around Maribor, for example Pohorje (Maribor Mountain Hut, Ruše Mountain Maribor Mountain Hut, Nataša Kosi and Urška Kosi (primary teachers, or- Hut, Pečke, Poštela, Meranovo, Rogla ganizers), 2017 and Lovrenc Lakes), Urban, Žavcar Peak, Piramida, Boč, Šmohor and many more. Older students visit more demanding re- lations, like Okrešelj, Celje Mountain Hut across Devil’s Gorge, Olševa, Nanos and sometimes they even try out scaling up climbing walls. The trips take place on Saturdays. Each excursion is unique and depends on its complexity, distance of the cho- sen goal and the weather. By attending this club, the students get to know many geographical, historical and natural fea- tures of the local environment. Another important goal is also keeping compa- ny among the students of different ages
