Brihtna glava Primary School
What school did grandma and grandpa go to?
At the Brihtna Glava Primary School in Radovica near Metlika, time is turned back to the 1950s. Sitting on the old school benches, you’ll learn about the Bela Krajina region, dotted with slender birch trees and lush vineyards, and its natural and cultural heritage in a light-hearted and relaxed way.
Through a humorous interpretation of the Bela Krajina heritage, you’ll be introduced to the warm-hearted, good-natured and hard-working people of Bela Krajina. The strict teacher with a cane in her hand and the corn cob used to make disobedient pupils kneel in the corner of the classroom are now a thing of the past. Let’s reminisce together about the school days of our grandparents’ youth. As is fitting at school, you’ll also receive a ‘report card’ at the end. How will you fare?

“Brihtna glava” Primary School
In Radovica at Metlika, there is a building of the former primary school, which functioned as an educational establishment by 1976. After longs years, a “proper” school opened its doors here. The conceptual design of Toni Gašperič aroused the interest of the local Andrej Bajuk. With great enthusiasm and interest, he started renovating the room and searching for appropriate objects. This was followed by long-term browsing through the past, collection of old school objects and accessories. A classroom from old times was made, an image from the 1950s. Andrej Bajuk became the headmaster, while a strict comrade teacher was entrusted with teaching. The headmaster Andrej therefore transformed the classroom back into a state it was in the past. By now, it is probably clear that this is a staged scene where the headmaster, the comrade teacher and the school secretary each play their roles; but you, dear pupils, are the most important, sitting with great expectation at a school desk and participating in an hour full of historical and cultural insights of Bela krajina.
