Day1

In the morning we walk together to our first host, the Kralja Zvonimira school. At the enterency the flags of all our country’s and the big purple Erasmus flag are flauting in the wind and we directly feel very welcomed. Croatia, our host, has organised a beautiful welcome programme with a lot of kind words, the national anthem and some dance and live music presentations. After lunch there are some workshops, which the students follow. In each group there is one student of each country. We learn a lot from the Croatian history and heritage. We follow workshops as making bookmarks, dry wall building, crime scene math, building stone houses, Glagolitic workshop and Trogir pad workshop.
Day 2

We gathered outside the school at 8:30 and set off on a trip to the Krka National Park. It’s a large beautiful place with numerous walking paths,waterfalls, bridges and breathtaking views. We visited the Ethno Village and got information about first hydro power plants, famous inventors and agricultural devices. In the meantime the groups of students had to face some mathematical problems. After lunch we head for Sibenik-a lovely seaside town with UNESCO treasures. We saw a real UNESCO architectural masterpiece – St. Jacob’s Cathedral and walked along narrow winding streets and the beautiful coastline.
Day 3
7 November 2018
Today we spent the morning in Trogir, an Unesco city close to Seget Donji.
Our students discovered this wonderful place through a sort of “treasure hunting”. Each group had to find clues in 13 different locations of the city solving math tasks related to this impressive cultural heritage. Then, in the main square, there was a very interesting show with the typical dances, Dalmatian songs and modern majorette dances of the students enjoyed ourselves. In this occasion, the local authorities gave us a very special and official welcome and the consols of our countries were presents as well.
Day 4
8 November 2018
We began our day by going to Sinj to learn about the tournament like contest called Alka, inspired by the wars with the Ottoman Empire. After this, we went to a Maritime museum, where we discovered a lot of new information about the Croatian presence in the nearby seas and land from ancient times up to the present. The children worked on a workshop, learning how to tie different types of sailor’s knots. Finally, we went to Split and visited Diocletian’s palace, a very interesting historic site, maybe unique in the fact that people still live in the buildings that are within the palace’s walls.
Day 5

Today was the last day of our wonderful exchange. We spent the morning with the boys and girls separately: the girls played handball while the boys solved crime math tasks and then the boys played football, while the girls solved the tasks. Then we had a really nice lunch all together. After lunch it was time to say goodbye.: we recieved our certifications and we thanked each other for the wonderfull week we spend in Seget Donji. We handed our flags over to Sicilia, Italy, where our next exchange will be.
