About the leader:

Patricija is 24 years old and she lives in a precious little village called Golobinjek ob Sotli near Podčetrtek. She studies Primary education at the University of Maribor. What inspires her in reading folk fairy tales is having reality described in imaginary terms while underlining lessons of life. Her interest in fairy tales comes from her fascination in the children’s wild imagination. Why children sink into the world of fantasy so quickly and so purely? What is the thing that attracts them in listening to fairy tales? So many questions are related to children's perception while reading a listening of fairy tales.
Her main motivation for the exchange is meeting new people and talking to them about their culture, their specific lifestyle and fairy tales. She feels grateful for having the opportunity to exchange ideas of folk fairy tales with people from six different countries.
