Dissemination of the project to the teaching staff at the Gustav Šilih Center in Maribor

In May 2022 teacher Saša Kovačec presented the Erasmus+ project “Our Cultures – Our Treasures” and mobility to Portugal to teaching staff at the Gustav Šilih Center in Maribor, which is the second largest specialized organization for children with special needs in Slovenia.

She presented the conceptual design of the project and the participating countries. She mentioned the interesting features of the Portugal school system, which she had the opportunity to discover during her mobility. The difference in obtaining the teacher title for additional professional help in Portugal and Slovenia was especially emphasized.

The teaching staff was interested in how the school system is divided and how children with special needs are taken care of in this country. Of course, she also mentioned the wonderful natural beauties we could see, and the cultural differences between the two countries, and praised the hospitality of our hosts. She concluded that more of the teaching staff should participate in such projects, where participating teachers and students get to know other cultures and ways of working and learn from their examples of good practices, and at the same time pass on our rich knowledge.
