A parent meeting

As the day of our departure in Romania is approaching, we organised a meeting for our students' parents. They have received information about the ongoing project activities and plan of the 10-day visit to our project partners in Zalau. We all eagerly wait for that day to come. 22 more days and counting :)

Celebrating Easter in Croatia

In case you’re coming to Croatia during the Easter period you might find it interesting to find something about Easter traditions and food in Croatia, most special being those related to Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. In general, Easter is perceived in Croatia as time of rebirth and new life. This fact is perfectly reflected in symbols which are most commonly associated with Easter: eggs, spring flowers (especially violets), and food such as spring onions, lamb and young cheese. Croatia also nurtures the tradition of coloring eggs for Easter, but here they have a special name –pisanica – the term developed from the verb pisati (to write). Namely, pisanica eggs often have a message inscribed into them. Traditionally, eggs are dyed naturally, using for example onion shells and red beet to achieve red color, and spinach and leek for green. Croatian word for Easter is Uskrs, so if you want to wish someone happy Easter just say – Sretan Uskrs!
