Between 21st and 30th May 2014, the first meeting of our Comenius Bilateral Project “Towards a brighter future: preventing dropping out in an inclusive school " took place at FORAVE – Associação para a Educação Profissional do Vale do Ave, in Lousado.
The students and teachers from the French school Saint Pierre-Notre Dame de France-Sainte Marie met the Portuguese team to carry out the planned activities and to discuss and evaluate the project.
During this European meeting we had ice-breaking activities which allowed us to get to know each other and to make new friends; students´ presentations about the schools, countries and the project´s theme; field trips and lessons at local companies and at the local university; and visits to the cities of Porto, Braga, Guimarães and Viana do Castelo.
We also made an exhibition about France, worked on the Bilingual Dictionary, chose the logo which best conveyed the theme of the project, updated this website and evaluated the activities carried out until now.
