I announced back in January International Montessori Conference which was held in Split. It was organized by Ms. Ligija Krolo from Montessori Children's House kindergarten (Split), the Faculty of Philosophy in Split and the Croatian Montessori Association. Theme of the Conference was "The Pedagogic Method of Maria Montessori - Stimulus for the Development of Pedagogic Pluralism" . Last week I first participated in an international conference and I must say I found it very interesting and nice experience. I hung out with the "old", rarely seen, colleagues, met some readers of this blog and I have been pleasantly surprised by their support and praise for the blog, and enjoyed listening to lectures and presentations of various colleagues :-)
Ali, krenimo redom...
Odmah po dolasku u Split sam se iznenadila kad sam došla u prekrasan hotel Luxe (iskreno, nisam očekivala da ću odsjesti u tako luksuznom, novom, hotelu):

But, first things first...
Immediately upon arrival in Split, I was surprised when I came to the beautiful Luxe Hotel (honestly, I did not expect to stay in such luxury, new, hotel):

Odmah po dolasku u Split otišla sam s kolegicama iz jednog drugog zagrebačkog vrtića razgledati Montessori vrtić Mali cvijetak u koji nas je dovela i ljubazno ugostila ravnateljica Elizabeta Rakidžija. To je zaista krasan mali prostor u kojem se osjeća prava obiteljska atmosfera, a moram reći da sam uočila i neke prekrasne materijale koje ću sigurno napraviti za "svoju" grupu.

Immediately upon arrival in Split, I went with colleagues from another Zagreb's kingergarten on the tour of "Little Flower" Montessori kindergarten, in which has led us, and kindly hosted by director Elizabeta Rakidžija. It was really nice small place where you can feel real family atmosphere, and I must say that I noticed some beautiful materials that will surely make for "my" classroom one day.

Slijedeća dva dana slušala sam predavanja, pohađala radionice i prezentacije praktičnog rada putem multimedijalnih prezentacija, a izlagači su bili mnogi ljudi koji su značajni za Montessori pedagogiju u Hrvatskoj i Europi jer promiču Montessori pedagošku koncepciju:

The next two days I listened to lectures, attend workshops and presentations, practical work through multimedia presentations, and exhibitors were many people who are important for Montessori Education in Croatia and Europe because they promote pedagogical concept of Maria Montessori:

Također sam se jako razveselila kad mi je gđa. Sandra Pokos kod koje sam završila jednu od Montessori edukacija uručila MEPI diplomu.

I was also very happy when mrs. Sandra Pokos in which Professional Development Centre for teacher training of educators I graduated handed me a MEPI diploma.
Hvala! Thank you!
Uz sva predavanja, prezentacije i radionice (budući da sam išla na sve što sam stigla ;-)), za izlazak u grad sam našla vrijeme samo navečer, što je šteta jer je vrijeme bilo sunčano i toplo. Ipak - više su me interesirala predavanja. Zadnji dan konferencije sam obišla Split po danu:
~
With all lectures, presentations and workshops (since I went to all that was offered ;-)), I had time only in the evening to go into town, which is a shame because the weather was sunny and warm. However - I was more interested in lectures. Last day of the Conference I visited Split during daylight:

Nakon ručka sam s prijateljicom Barbarom u Splitu popila sok, poslala razglednicu svojim Leptirićima i puna dojmova otputovala u Zagreb.
To bi bilo sve o Konferenciji. Idući post će biti o Montessori vježbama!

After lunch I drank the juice with my friend Barbara in Split, sent a postcard to my Butterflies in kindergarten and went to Zagreb full of impressions.
That would be all about the Conference. The next post will be about the Montessori exercises!
LIJEP POZDRAV do idućeg posta!
