Slađana Curić-Petričević & Sandra Jović shared with us the methods they use to help their Fireflies to learn English while playing  and growing at Cvit Mediterana -Rusulica kindergarten.

Alenka Miljević  demonstrated authentic situations in which her students apply their English knowledge in eTwinning projects and, as an eTwinning ambassador, she encouraged our participants to become members of the eTwinning community.

Daniela Reić Šućur, the winner of the best workshop award at the 30th HUPE conference, delivered an inspiring and amusing presentation revealing  effective tricks and useful tips for having fun in the classroom.

At the beginning of the meeting, the HUPE Split Branch president gave a report on the 30th Annual International HUPE Conference which took place in  Poreč from 11 to 13 November 2022. She reported on the conference programme, venue, workshops, social events, raffle, partners and sponsors, as well as on the overall positive feedback the HUPE Organizing Committee has received. The participants were also informed about the upcoming events such as a short story writing competition- Storyland, HUPE Board elections and 5-day teacher training in Edinburgh in spring 2023.More information about the trip will be provided during the winter holidays.
