I'am a primary school teacher and menthor in Primary school Bol in Split, Croatia.I am a teacher who believes that the school must continuously encourage students to develop competencies that will enable them to apply the acquired knowledge in everyday life. Reading, play, creativity and project teaching play a key role in this. By participating in various projects, I encourage my students to think about climate change, sustainability and develop environmental awareness.
