Whilst many participants will represent the host country (Slovenia), each of the remaining countries will have the opportunity to select up to 3 representatives either from the target audience or representing the Erasmus+ funding agency. The Spanish National Agency will cover travel, accommodation and maintenance to final destination in Bled for 3 Spanish participants. Cost: The seminar is free to attend with a number of meals also covered by the event organisers (lunch and coffee breaks on both days plus dinner on the first day). Participants are responsible for covering their own travel and accommodation expenses. For international participants (from outside Slovenia) it might be possible to access a grant to cover part of these costs (e.g. TCA or NetWBL). In all cases, participants should liaise with their own Erasmus+ National Agency to clarify this. The Spanish National Agency for Erasmus+ (SEPIE) will cover travel and accommodation expenses for 3 people. More about Bled: Bled is located on the southern foot of the Karawanks mountain range near the border with Austria, about 50 km (31 miles) northwest of the state capital, Ljubljana. South of Lake Bled are the densely forested Pokljuka and Jelovica plateaus, the easternmost parts of the Julian Alps. Here the Sava Bohinjka and the parallel Bohinj Railway lead up to the Bohinj basin, Lake Bohinj, and the Triglav massif. Bled is known for the glacial Lake Bled, which makes it a major tourist attraction. Perched on a rock overlooking the lake is the iconic Bled Castle. The town is also known in Slovenia for its vanilla and cream pastry (in Slovene: kremšnita, kremna rezina). A small island in the middle of the lake is home to the Assumption of Mary Pilgrimage Church; visitors frequently ring its bell for good luck. Human traces from prehistory have been found on the island. Before the church was built, there was a temple consecrated to Živa, the Slavic goddess of love and fertility. Access to the island is via a traditional flat-bottomed wooden boat (in Slovene: pletna). The island on Lake Bled has 99 steps. A local tradition at weddings is for the husband to carry his new bride up these steps, during which the bride must remain silent.
