We create a pleasant environment. Me, you, all of us.
The kind of environment we will live in depends on the fundamental values that bind us together. That is why it is important to introduce, nurture and emphasise Slovenia's 5 core values to children and adolescents.
Why?
Individual
thereby building inner stability and confidence to help them succeed in the world and create a happy life.
Community
(class, school, country) of such individuals is more successful and enjoyable for all - the more and the less ambitious.
We are each trying in our own way to do something for our children, our students, our young people who will, after all, shape our future. After 34 years in education, I can say that the essence is invisible to the eye and that many individuals have talents that have been proven over the years. Whenever I stop at a particular petrol station, I think of my mother, who said to the current owner on arriving at my speaking hours: 'I came to ask if our disgust would destroy the school. I know she has a history and Slovenian one. Nothing will ever come of it." He did his best in both subjects and got a satisfactory grade. Today he is an excellent entrepreneur, an exemplary husband and a warm-hearted father. And that's why we are trying too. Because when it comes to children, it's worth it!

Below are some topics that may help you to consider and create in the 5 Core Values of Slovenia project.
Key activities for pupils throughout the year
"Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I'll remember, involve me and I'll understand."
Chinese proverb
Who are your role models who you believe live by your values? Call them and ask for a recorded conversation. Ask them what interests you and, of course, don't forget to ask questions related to the 5 core values Slovenia. What do they think about them, how do they live them, how is it reflected in practice, how does it accompany them on their path of success... Of course, add the names of all you creators to the recording. We will publish the clips on Vrednote.si, along with a description of your team.
If you need help with filming, sound, equipment or editing, just give us a 'tug' - we can help you with a professional videographer.
It is not enough to know the core values. It is necessary to live by them. Find specific events, actions and people that you could say, "They live in accordance with Slovenia's 5 Core Values." We will publish all the stories in a printed book, in which you will be listed as the author. The book will be published by 5KA Publishing House.
The real heroes worth highlighting and putting on the stage are you, the ones who demonstrate in the classroom that you live by Slovenia's 5 Core Values. So tell us - who are these heroes and why? Write down the stories, describe heroes, take photos, make videos... Anything to showcase your school's heroes. It is important to explain why you see them as the heroes of your school. The material collected will be published in the form of a school newsletter.
How would you draw Slovenia's 5 core values? Maybe make a comic strip showing Slovenia's 5 core values. Or capture moments that show these values in a photographic lens. Whatever the visual.
You can think of an activity to demonstrate Slovenia's 5 core values. Be creative. Be original. Be daring.
Your work and products will be featured on the Vrednote.si website (and on our social media pages) and at the final event of the 5 Core Values of Slovenia project.

Teachers, for your encouragement
Just as every day has its part of the night, so every profession, however beautiful, has its dark days. Then it must be nice to read how your profession affects people.
