Between 4th and 9th
March, the Italian, Czech, Swedish and Portuguese teams met at our school to carry out the
planned activities concerning the Comenius Project “The revival of the historical food of Europe and
benefits for healthy diet of population”.
During this European
meeting there were ice-breaking activities which allowed the students to get to
know each other and to make new friends; students´ presentations about the schools,
countries and the project´s theme; field trips to food processing companies
like Caves Ferreira (Porto Wine) and Imperial
(chocolate factory) and some time to visit the cities of Porto and Viana do
Castelo. However, the main activity was a practical workshop, which took place
at ESEIG -
Escola Superior de Estudos Industriais e de Gestão, in Vila do Conde, during which students and teachers had the opportunity
to cook and taste some traditional Portuguese recipes like Caldo Verde, Rojões à moda do
Minho and Papos de Anjo.
"Tolerance" and how to be tolerant of others were topics discussed by our
Comenius students and some of the conclusions were on PowerPoint presentations
shown to all the students in our school. Here is one of those presentations.
From 9th until 14th our Comenius Team was in Reggio Emilia participating in one more Comenius Meeting.
Our students attended some presentations, cooked Portuguese traditional meals at the REGUSTIBUS FAIR and visited the city with colleagues from the Czech Republic, Sweden and Italy.
