About

Funky School (orig. Vesela šola) is an acknowledged educational project with an annual skills and general knowledge competition for youth between 9-15 years. Its more than 40-year tradition makes it the oldest educational programme in the Slovene educational sector and ensures its reputation as a pleasant and very useful experience among generations of its participants. 

Funky Schools’s quality and interdisciplinary platforms make it popular among pupils and respected by teachers as it is set to expand horizons and build knowledge in a child-friendly, attractive and entertaining fashion. It aims at the acquisition of general knowledge, which gives youngsters the opportunity to examine the wider picture of the school curriculum and promotes knowledge building as interesting, amusing and actually useful in life when applied to practice.

In September 2010 Funky School was updated with a fresh image and adaptation to the contemporary challenges in schools, social life and living and “virtual” life of teens. Funky School is the only multidimensional educational supplement which offers a wide range of topics by using a variety of communication platforms (print, Internet, film based educational programs, social networking). The participation is free of charge.
