One of the biggest challenges almost every teacher faces on an everyday basis is how to motivate students to participate actively in the classroom and learn. From your own experience, you surely are aware that not only is it easier for you as a teacher to work with motivated students but that motivated students are much more successful in their undertakings in school and outside of it.

In this post, we are going to discuss what’s important to be aware of about students who belong to Generation Z and how you can adapt your teaching methods to their needs and learning styles to reach better learning outcomes.

One of the learning outcomes that outdoor education courses aim at is shifting a student’s fixed mindset towards a growth mindset. Often, at the beginning of our course, our participants will ask their instructors how those activities they will take part in, such as going on an expedition, learning how to set up a camp with a fireplace to cook dinner on and a bivouac to sleep in will be useful for them in everyday life.

Enrolling your child for the first time in an Outward Bound outdoor education course can leave you with a lot of questions. Parents who have no previous experience with outdoor education or are themselves not very comfortable in the outdoors naturally have numerous doubts about what expects their child on the course.

Unlike Kino Europa, Kino Tuškanac is a rather hidden and unspectacular cinema – at first sight. But don’t let yourself be fooled by is building’s unpretentious looks. Kino Tuškanac is operating as a center for cinematic culture and education in Zagreb since 2001.

ZKM stands for Zagrebačko kazalište mladih – Zagreb Youth Theater. I’ve always wondered about this name since neither the ensemble members are necessarily young nor are the staged plays exclusively directed at youth.

ZPC – short for Zagrebački plesni centar – is a center for contemporary dance performances and education, just a few minutes away from Zagreb’s main square. Performances are on the repertoire at least twice per week.

Sometimes it feels like choices are limited when it comes to street food options in Zagreb. That’s why each new spot that opens up and presents a slightly different approach is a joy – and more so OAZA Joyful Kitchen. It’s all vegan and neither super expensive nor pretentious at all!

Some places have cult status in a city without anyone knowing how that came to happen. Sedmica is one of those spots and it’s said to be a bar where the art, culture and alternative scene of Zagreb has been meeting for more than 25 years.

Botaničar was hip before it even officially opened. I found out about it when I visited a travel-book reading that was organized here and which was so crowded it was impossible not only to find a seat, but standing places were also scarce.
