Fifth week - Brežice

Moving on to the fifth week, we left Celje behind and took the train to Brezice! There, we headed to our new home. MC youth hostel! It is a really nice place, actually the biggest of the MaMa network. It is very close to the center and has a big green park right in front of it.

Next we had a guided tour around the city of Brezice where we got to learn more about the history and culture, and enjoyed the sights like the castle and the water tower. As part of our EVS promotion we had two big events. First one was a school presentation and promotion. This took place in Ekonomska in trgovska šola (school of economics). We presented our programme to the students as well as how EVS works in general and played a language exchange game with them.

Next day we had a public event in the city center. Main object was again to promote EVS to as many people us possible! We started out with a Flash mob to attract people and then we separated into groups and handed out flyers with EVS information. At our stand we answered questions about EVS, offered candies, and invited people to join us at the youth center. All in all we did a great job and had many people interested in our project and EVS in general. As far as the weekend is concerned we enjoyed our free time in the water park,sliding down the slides, swimming, and enjoying the sun! Sunday morning we, in our cinnamon tans, took the train to the Capital. First walks to the city and a glass of wine at night just hit the spot and recharged our batteries for the upcoming week! Well, stay tuned for more!
