Christmas is a special holiday for the Romanians as well. There are special traditions and songs which they interpret wearing traditional clothes. There are also special kinds of food which are prepared in this period: SARMALE (minced meat rolled in cabbage leaves) and TURTE ( a kind of cake made from nuts). Special dances such as CALUSARII which resembles an English dance the Morrison Dance, are performed together with CAPRA, CAIUTII , ETC. Here are some images from the activities which took place at “ Mihai Eminescu” National College in order to celebrate Christmas.

Some facts about us:

Kranj is the capital of the Gorenjska and the fourth largest town in Slovenia. Old part of the town is like a peninsula above the Kokra and the Sava river. Kranj is a very important Slovenian trade centre. Kranj is also called the "City of Preseren" because Slovenia's greatest poet, Dr. France Preseren (1800-1849), lived, worked, and died here.

“IES LA SEGARRA” BACKGROUND Cervera

The beginning of Further Education in Cervera was linked to Vocational Training Studies in Instituto Laboral, which started its activity in 1963 and was placed in the old Cervera University building. As a consequence of the development of the General Education Law Act in 1970 (LGE), Further Education Studies were divided into “A” Level Studies (BUP and COU) and Vocational Training Studies (High and Low Levels), being the latter studies taught at a small new school, which continued sharing the same building, called Secció de Formació Professional dependent on Escola del Treball in Leida. In 1984 the new school became Institut de Formació Professional (IFP) and in 1985 moved to the nowadays placement in President Macià Avenue, taking then the name “La Segarra” out of the county, the capital of which is Cervera.

Since 1985 our school has been devoted to the professional training in different specialities of students from our county and the neighbourghood. When the new Education Law Act, called (LOGSE) passed in 1985, new changes took place and one of those made our school become also a Secondary Education School called Institut d’Educació Secundària (IES). We have been teaching Compulsory Education between 12 and 16 years old, called (Educació Secundària Obligatòria, ESO) and Further Education 16 – 18 and 18 - 20 since the academic course 1995-96.

When our school started its activity as a “Secció de FP” there were 44 students registered; the number of students was increasing up to 424 in the academic year 1993-94. After LOGSE started the enrolment of students decreased until about 350. Nowadays and as a result of the new Vocational Studies and the rise of population in Cervera our school has a number of 485 students registered.

The students taking part in the Comenius Project 2008-2010 are in their 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th year of Compulsory Education (13–16 years old).
