WORKSHOPS

SANJA RAŠKOVIĆ: Stories, a powerful teaching tool
Stories play a big part in our lives and in our classrooms. They carry magic and can take us and our students to the fantasy land where learning becomes easier and more fun. In this practical workshop I’m going to share story-like activities that work well in the classroom, boost creativity and facilitate vocabulary and grammar revision, as well as reading, listening, and speaking practice. These activities can be used  with all age groups.

SILVIJA PEĆANAC BAČIĆ: Literature unfolded
Frankenstein is not just a novel. It is a multi-layered story which needs to be unfolded. Literature offers an opportunity to develop writing skills, acquire new vocabulary and it can also have creative output.

The call for the position of HUPE Dubrovnik branch position is still open. You can apply by May 20, by sending your name, surname, school, phone number and a short biography to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
