Amandine from France studies agriculture at the University of Maribor. In the future she would like to work in the field of environmental protection. She chose Maribor because of its size, surroundings and nature. She runs by the Drava river and goes swimming at the local swimming pool. Amandine's first challenge here was learning how to get from Maribor to the Faculty of Agriculture, which is located in nearby Hoče. It was in Maribor that Amandine experienced sharing a room with another student for the first time, and she was surprised to find out that Slovenians, in contrast to the French, eat all day long :) Amandine chose to play the song "Quand je marche" by Ben Mazué.

A lack of focus and attention, aggression, feelings of anxiety, a lack of coordination... This week we talk about the effects screens have on child development with Matej Lozar, a pedagogic advisor on media issues. He says the best way to develop media competence, is to exercise media abstinence... And it all starts in the family! We touch on the importance of free play, human interaction, being outside in nature, and why the education system should remain a relationship between humans.
Our second show of the new season was recorded in the town of LITIJA and its outskirts.
