Students will be accommodated in double and/or triple rooms. In each room there will be students from 2 or 3 different countries. It will force them to speak English and it will be easier for them to make international friendships. It’s one of the biggest benefit of the project that students have a chance to share a room with his/her peer from another country.

10. How much money will students need to take as pocket money?
CROATIA:
The students will spend most of the time in the hotel, so they will not have many chances to spend their money. On Tuesday they will go for an afternoon trip to Pula, where they may want to buy some souvenirs. On Thursday they will go for a whole day trip, where they will have to buy a lunch and dinner if a group decides to go to Venice which is 3 hours away from the hotel and it takes the whole day to visit that place. We suggest about 50-60 Euro/student as pocket money (transport fees are not included).
SLOVAKIA:
All students will need to pay entrance fee to Aqupark in Poprad which is around 15 Euro. If they decide to go to Cracow they will have to pay for the guide which is about 4 Euro/student (depends on the number of students in a group). If they decide to see the castle in Stara Lubovna (which is one of the afternoon activities) they will have to pay entrance fee which is 3,50 Euro/student. If a group chooses Cracow as their destination for Thursday whole day trip, they will have to buy dinner in Cracow. If they choose other destination Thursday they may need some money (7 Euro entrance fee to Belianska Cave, 10 Euro for raft rides by Dunajec). We suggest 40 – 50 Euro as pocket money (transport fees are not included).
POLAND:
We suggest about 40-50 Euro per student as pocket money (transport fees are not included).
