New day. New story... Destination – Maribor! J
Today we woke up in the early morning and at 5.45 a.m. we
started our trip to European Capital of Culture and Slovenian second largest city-Maribor.
When we arrived at 9.30, the hosts of cultural institute presented us project
which is divided into 7 sessions, and importance of volunteering. An important aspects
of this project are cultural and art events; festivals, exhibitions, cooking
lessons where participate a lot of painters, musicians, writers, dancers,
photographers... Volunteers are one of the most importaint aspects of this project
because they are in charge to host V.I.P. guests. The project counts 86
volunteers who have obligatory training before starting with their work.
Volunteerism is very importaint from social aspect of life because there can
particaipate everyone who has passion for culture and working in intercultural
environment without age limits: students, employeed, unemployeed and retired people.
We also had an opportunity to hear feedbacks of 3 volunteers and their positive
experiences.
After morning sessions, we had walking sightseeing tour to
the main Maribor's attractions and we also visited the bell of St. John Cathedral which provide us beautiful
city view and a lot of nice photographies. J
Lunch in the local restaurant with traditional food and free
afternoon. During the afternoon we had a lot of work with questionnaires about
tourism and feedback of Maribor.
Nice day, great experience and a lot of fun!
Thank you...
