From sLOVEnija with wellness!



Everybody enjoyed yesterday´s free day. Most of us took it easy in every possible way (blog included :) ). The highlights of the day were a small but beautiful town named Koper, beach volleyball and delicious pizza-dinner in Rustika followed by (of course) best ice-cream in all over sLOVEnija in Cacao. 



As it was mentioned previously, today we are talking about wellness. Morning lecture was given by our dear teacher Heli Tooman, after what many of us were thinking about their lifestyle and choices. The wellness test confirmed that almost half of the class is happy and is  living a  fulfilled life. We realized that during this week we have actually experienced thalasso therapy at its finest. Most of us swim three times a day which gives an opportunity to get natural salt-scrubs and we also breathe fresh sea-air 24/7 – luxury, that many people are willing to pay a fortune to experience.

After lunch (obiobviously) a obligatory swim and then we participated in two lectures about UNESCO world heritage sites and branding for muddy costal area in Netherlands. During lecture it was presented a case study of Wadden Sea, we watched a video about this beautiful area and its rich biodiversity. Do you know that Wadden Sea is the home for the world’s smallest snails? The image that we had of this area was different from this that students from Netherlands had – that is the enourmous power of marketing! Previously we thought that Estonian world heritage sites (old town of Tallinn, culture of Kihnu island, the special way of Setos singing and Estonian Song Festival) are really unique, but then we found out that there are more than 900 world heritage sites all over the world. But despite the fact there are so many special sites in the world and each nationality should be proud of their own treasures.
