Discover Slovenia in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung/FAZ:
Kick-off for the new project year „Jugend schreibt“ (Youth Writes) at Hotel Celjska koča, 20. – 21.10.2025
At the invitation of the Municipality of Celje, city director Gregor Deleja, 28 students and teachers from a total of 8 schools in Celje, Maribor, Velenje and Videm pri Ptuju attended the third introductory event at Celjska koča.
A presentation of the FAZ and the Jugend schreibt project is followed by workshops on finding topics, research, interviewing, documentation and writing, fact checking and authorisation. In the practical part, a student from Videm pri Ptuju presents the Pokač tradition of whip cracking, which is supposed to drive away winter during the carnival season. This is followed by an interview and the structuring of a report on this topic.
This is followed by a joint editing exercise on reportage texts that have already been completed, as well as planning researches and reportages for the coming project year.
Many thanks to all participants and supporters in Maribor, Velenje, Videm pri Ptuju and especially in Celje! We look forward to the next steps together. Gerald and Monica Hühner, INSTITUT DISCIMUS LAB, Project management/Photos.
