Ljetna Škola u Engleskoj 2010. - Centre Director
Once again, during the summer (2009) I returned to the UK ready to take charge of Churchill House's flagship centre - Frensham Heights in Surrey.
I've included a few photos of what unfolded during the summer at my English language International summer school. Thanks to all my staff, teachers and activity leaders and of course the Group leaders who helped make the summer a smooth running, enjoyable experience!
The summer was packed with archery, high ropes, cookery classes, yoga, drama classes, football on an astroturf pitch and theatre performances. We watched Barcelona v Tottenham at Wembley, boogied on down at the discos, played tennis, swimming sessions in our own outdoor heated pool, trips to Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton and Portsmouth.
Numerous days out to London's attractions including Madame Tussaud's, The London eye, Chelsea stadium tour and the British Museum! We also arranged adventure days out to Thorpe park and Leed's castle.

Libris London Media Tour 09 (19-24 March 09)
When planning a project that takes place abroad naturally, it's essential that everything is well organised and enough preparation and effort has been given to the planning. Libris Communications and Odisea Travel recognize this and have always been applauded on their ability to prepare and implement excellent organization to their trips to the UK.
Folowing a few months of planning, Libris Communications set off on the a 6-day adventure through London with a serious Footballing theme!
Going behind the scenes at Wembley, Chelsea and Arsenal stadiums - The thrill of experiencing a Premiership match and meeting Portsmouth Croatian star Kranjcar and Spurs team mates Corluka and Modric along the way! Our journey was captured in a TV documentary (English and Croatian) filming London, interviews, stadiums, opinions and players as our quest to discover why the Premiership is the most popular league in the world unfolded day by day.
An idea that Peter initiated and developed between Libris Communications, Varazdin television Croatia and Odisea Travel, Varazdin Croatia. A special thanks to all involved that made this a success for all.
Northern England Football Media tour part 2 in Autumn is being prepared as we speak! (Manchester, Liverpool, Everton....) Already I have had a number of requests to join the second Football tour - there are limited places so those interested should inform Peter Hopwood to secure a place on the trip!
The documentaries will be shown during May 2009 throughout Croatia on various local Croatian television stations. You will also be able to watch on Youtube once it is available.
