Lecture at the teachers' council, 27, June 2022

__________________________________________________________

As part of the Erasmus + project Music to all, which includes our school, 5th grade students Irena Čadež, Dora Ožanić, Matija Ružić, Lukas Dožaić and Neva Margitić together with teachers Žaklina Majetić Mufić, Martina Majetić and Dragica Glad Dožaić visited Poland from 29. 5 to 4. 6.2022. years. Friends from Spain, Turkey, Lithuania and Romania are also participating in this international project. The hosts from Poland really made sure that our stay with them was flawless. The organization was top notch, we visited many beautiful locations, learned about different cultures and together created beautiful unforgettable moments. We visited the Piaseczno City Hall where we were hosted and introduced to the city which has great cultural and traditional value. A city that invests a lot in education and children. We also visited the capital Warsaw and its sights: the Wilanów Palace, the Palace of Culture and Science, the Old Town and the Parliament of the Republic of Poland.

We were especially impressed by the Fryderyk Chopin Museum and the Da Vinci Exhibition, where we could once again see how special these people were and what miracles they created. Priceless.

We were especially touched by the Polish Folklore Center Mazowsze where we could experience and see what it looks like behind the scenes, where the dancers change, what costumes they wear and what the preparation is like and what folklore people need to know. We could feel part of the whole story on our own skin because we had a dance workshop where we got acquainted with several traditional dances of Poland. It was an unforgettable experience. There were many music workshops, sports activities, socializing and getting to know each other throughout the week. At the end of the gathering we enjoyed the concert of Łysa Góra who delighted us with his traditional music. We can certainly say that Poland enchanted us. A beautiful country of special culture, traditions, wonderful people and unforgettable moments. For our children, but also for us teachers, it was a path that will forever remain in our memory and that will forever remain in our hearts. We are proud that our school is part of an Erasmus + project that connects people around the world and in which we can experience only unforgettable, wonderful memories.

ERASMUS DAYS, 22. 10. 2021.

In cooperation with the educational institutions of our county, the celebration of Erasmus Day was organized at the Podmurvice Elementary School in Rijeka. School pedagogue Monika Bajt Stepić and Music Culture teacher Žaklina Majetić Mufić presented two Erasmus projects in which our school is involved: Music to all and Mindfulness skills and play to the mental health of students. The meeting was covered by numerous media outlets, and the links are within the news we posted on our school’s website.

In October 2021, our 7th grade students Gaby, Lucia and Dajana, accompanied by teacher Nataša Lakotić, went on a mobility to Lithuania / Lithuania as part of the Erasmus + project Music to all. The partners in this project are schools from Turkey, Spain, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and us.

Impatiently and with great expectations, the girls embarked on a musical adventure. The hosts made a real effort to make the guests comfortable and to plan their time every second.

Many workshops, musical activities of rhythms, singing, body music, dancing, listening, meeting composers, musicians… were prepared for all participants.

Our task was to present one national song, and we chose My Homeland, a song that marked many generations and which is sung today as the second Croatian anthem. The girls presented in English and delighted the audience.

The hosts prepared excursions in which they brought closer the beauties of their homeland.

The students hung out every day and spent their evenings dancing and singing.

That wonderful friendships had been made was clear from day one. The day of departure and farewell was very difficult for everyone.

How they spent, what they did and saw you can read from their short reviews of the trip…

Turkish day in our school, 3.3.2021.

Due to the pandemic, we could not organize a Turkish day at school for all students, but we tasted Turkish desserts, hazelnuts and drank Turkish tea in the school library. 8th graders tasted Turkish delight, hazelnuts from Unye and drank Turkish tea. Students were introduced to Turkish customs, culture, food, lifestyle, cultural diversity and beauty from the stories of teacher Žaklina who was on Erasmus + mobility in Turkey in March 2020.

Creating a musical instrument

_________________________________________________________

The second mobility in the Erasmus + project Music to all was Turkey. English language teacher Nataša Kufner Delak, school accountant Željka Novinc and music culture teacher Žaklina Majetić Mufić went on this mobility. The road passed peacefully even though it was the last week before the big border closure due to the corona virus pandemic. Meeting with friends from Spain, Poland, Romania, Lithuania and Turkey was very emotional. We really became friends, not just partners in this project. The hosts introduced us to their beautiful city, school, city representatives, town hall, teachers ... They organized excursions, picnics, lunches, dinners, gatherings with dancing and singing. At school, we worked diligently in a music workshop led by Hulya Haznedaroglu and made instruments from recycled material. It was especially fun to play on these instruments. The week passed too quickly. We are looking forward to the next meeting in Lithuania.

U razdoblju od 24.11. do 30.11. ravnateljica Nataša Možgon Kauzlarić, pedagoginja Monika Bajt Stepić i učiteljica glazbene kulture Žaklina Majetić Mufić boravile su u Španjolskoj u gradu Leganesu u sklopu projekta Erasmus + Music to all.

Naš boravak bio je isplaniran svake minute. Prva večer bila je večer susreta. Međusobno smo se upoznali i već tada smo shvatili da će projekt rezultirati i pravim prijateljstvima jer smo se odmah svi dobro povezali. U projekt su uz nas uključene zemlje: Turska, Litva, Rumunjska, Poljska i Španjolska kao glavni koordinator. 

Svečano otvorenje projekta održalo se u školi domaćina uz mnoštvo uglednih ljudi i medija. Domaćini su se izrazito trudili približiti nam njihovu kulturu, gastronomiju i upoznati nas s povijesnim ljepotama gradova u blizini Leganesa. Tako smo posjetili Madrid, Segoviju i Toledo. U Madridu smo pogledali operu u poznatoj kazlišnoj kući Zarzuela. 

Svakog dana prijepodne boravili smo u školi na radionicama i radnim sastancima. Radionice su bile posvećene glazbi i uključivanjem djece u glazbene aktivnosti. 

Sve zemlja pripremile su izlaganje i prezentacije o svojoj školi, mjestu i državi. 

Sljedeća mobilnost planirana je u trećem mjesecu kada je domaćin Turska.

In the period from 24.11. to 30.11.2019. school master Nataša Možgon Kauzlarić, pedagogue Monika Bajt Stepić and music culture teacher Žaklina Majetić Mufić visited Leganes, Spain, as part of the Erasmus + Music to all project.

Our stay was planned every minute. The first evening was the evening of the meeting. We got to know each other and even then we realized that the project would result in real friendships because we all connected well immediately. The following countries are involved in the project: Turkey, Lithuania, Romania, Poland and Spain as the main coordinator.

The grand opening of the project was held at the host school with a multitude of distinguished people and the media. The hosts made a great effort to bring us closer to their culture, gastronomy and introduce us to the historical beauties of the cities near Leganes. So we visited Madrid, Segovia and Toledo. In Madrid, we watched the opera at the famous Zarzuela Theater.

Every morning we stayed at the school for workshops. The workshops were dedicated to music and involving children in musical activities.

All countries have prepared presentations about their school, place and country.

The next mobility is planned for the third month when Turkey is the host.
