Hello everyone,


Have you ever seen a young person in Slovakia wearing a green ribbon pinned to their jacket or a backpack? Wearing a green ribbon means that a young person went through Stužková, a school leaving ceremony, a rite of passage for students completing their secondary education. You can read more about it in our new blog post:
