My experiences of Adult Learning Festivals
Slovenia with friendly people made me fortunate and happy. Let's not forget bikes. Everyone old and young have got a bike in here. This situation has became a culture.I liked it very much. The studies of adult education impressed us very deeply.16. ALW showed us "Slovenes has been giving a great importance about this issue."
We saw a very nice school in Zarca. This school which special education need children and adult stay, located in the middle of nature. Its physical structure is excellent. It gave us the opportunity to compare our own schools.

I learned from my experiences
Sometimes, I thought that adult people can not gain new information. But when I saw marvellous environment in Slovenia, I changed my this absurd mind. Every people is very important for them. We joined a workshop about the using media for adult learners. I realized the importance of group work very well. Lots of valuable ideas was shared in the workshop.I learned different visions from different countries.
Slovenian people showed us a lot of colourful activities during the Slovenia meeting. I learned diversifying the activities in my worklife. If you want your voice to be heard by a wider audience ,it is an effective way to organize the festival.

What will I do as a result of participating?
I saw that many beautiful things was made in the field of adult education in Slovenia. As a guidance teacher,I will use gained experiences from Slovenia in my work-life. In particular, given value to adult disabled people impressed me. This meeting strengthened " there is no to be sacrificed individual in the education system" idea.
