Hiking around Endla Bog

Estonia is a country with many natural resources. One of the most famous is the Endla bog, a very interesting marsh reserve because of its unique habitat. After a walk through its wooden paths (which cover the entire bog) we made a barbecue and ended the day with an emotional act of delivering certificates to all attendees.

Raatuse Kool

This is the school that has hosted our second Project meeting of students, It is a nursery and primary public school (up to the 9th grade), in which the teachers coordinating team has put every effort in the organization of all scheduled activities.

They are currently renovating facilities in another part of the city to create a new school without walls and open spaces to begin a new educational stage in the spirit of Reggio Emilia (an institution that we visited at our transnational meeting in Italy).

We had the opportunity to visit the nursery classrooms, inspired by the Waldorf pedagogy, and attended to an interesting talk about their educational system.

All the programmed activities were carried out at the school, even the final Music show.

Community building

In this meeting, all of us (students and teachers) have worked to achieve the same goal; offer a musical show that we had been preparing for a few months.

To achieve this common goal, students had to work as a team making decisions, reaching agreements and carrying out the activities scheduled during the working days. This way of working cooperatively, has allowed them to get to know each other better and create bonds that have extended to all the activities throughout the week.

Summing up ... We have all arrived with the feeling of having done something important that will leave a strong impact on all participants and their respective schools.
