Teresa came to the hotel to take us to the school. We
were ready for the opening ceremony in the auditorium with all the students and
teachers. The students had arrived earlier to attend classes with their hosts,
which enabled them to see and experience the educational system of a Portuguese
school. The ceremony started with Teresa’s speech letting us know the
Portuguese team. Then the headmistress gave a nice speech. We learned about
Portugal and the town-S. Joao Madeira with the help of students’ presentations.
After that all partners had a chance to introduce themselves one by one.
After the
coffee break, students had an activity to get to know each other. They enjoyed
themselves a lot during the activity.
Teachers also
had a relaxation activity-yoga. Thanks to yoga, we felt relaxed and peaceful.
It was very kind of Portuguese teachers to organise such an activity at the
very beginning of the meeting.
At lunch
time we had great meal at the school canteen. Portuguese students were so
polite that they let all the guests go before them to take meal.
After the
delicious lunch, it was presentation time on heritage. During the
presentations, we learned much about the industrial side of each country.
Portuguese students gave information about the footwear, cork, olive oil, wine
and textile industry.
The Belgian
team presented cigar, architecture and beer industry.
German students emphasized the importance of
limestone in the German industry.
Polish team made their presentations on candy,
china, construction, tool and chemical factories.
Slovenian team made it possible for us to
learn about their agricultural lands, spas and wineries.
Lastly, we
gave information about coal mining, iron and steel, fishing and tourism.
Later on,
teachers came together to have the meeting on the future of the project.
Efficient communication and cooperation worked and made everything easier at
the meeting.
In the
evening students joined at DJ party which they had lots of fun.
Teachers
went straight to the hotel after the meeting to get ready for the home dinner
at Teresa’s house. We were really impressed by Teresa and her family’s
hospitality and we were all very glad to be hosted at their house.
