Comenius Meeting in Lousado

Between 3rd and 8th May, the second meeting of the Comenius Project “What we are, what we hope we will be“ took place at our school. 28 students and 12 teachers from Bulgary, Hungary, Italy, Norway and Turkey met the Portuguese team to discuss the development of the project and to carry out some of the planned activities.
It was a week full of activities. Meetings to discuss the products that had already been made and to plan the future ones; ice-breaking games which allowed the different groups to get to know each other and to make new friends; students´ presentations about each school/country and about music and fashion; field trips to Viana do Castelo and Oporto; sports events; a common fashion show where the participating countries showed traditional and modern costumes and a dinner with traditional Portuguese music and dances.
It was a great week which allowed us all to get to know our partners and their different cultures, educational systems and ways of living and made our students and teachers develop their language skills. And last, but not least, a week which gave us the chance to make new friends.
