Good to know before you pack your suitcase...

SloVAkia or SloVEnia?
If you have problems to distinguish between this two countries, then Slovakia is the one without sea :). Slovakia is a member of EU (since 2004) and also Shengen.

The weather
Its unpredictible :) but right now (in the middle of February) we have (suprisingly) 10cm of snow in Bratislava. In the beginning of march we hope for much spring weather.

The currency
Even though we will fix accomodation and nutrition for you, the legal currency in Slovakia is euro in case you would like to buy some nice souvenirs, postcards, present to your prep team :)

The prep - team
It is a team (consisting out of 5 members - Emir, Janika,Kristine, Lazjon and Sasa) who is responsibleto fix anything needed before and during the seminar. But don´t forget YOU are the essensial part of the seminar, you are also creating this event, not only them. (for more info please see the the special post about them).

Accommodation
The seminar will be held in a hotel called Baronka in the part of Bratislava called Rača (read Racha). The surrounding feels like a small village with a lot of family houses and mountains in the background. The hotel is placed cca 30 minutes by tram from the city center. (how to getthere will be publish very soon:)

The program
The whole program will be given to you on the spot but we can tell you already that there will be a lot of discussions, role plays. We are planning to have 2 experts - one on culture and the second one on global solidarity. Together we will prepare street action and there will be also lot of time dedicated to fun ! :D More over there will be some time where you can hang out in the city center.

What to pack
It would be good if you bring some clothes :), your bubly personality, creativity and swimming suit (there is a small pool in th hotel) and maybe some sport clothes (there is even smaller fitness or a play ground) more over you could bring some cool music.

More questions?
Please write them i nthe comment we hope we will be able to answer them.
