Meeting in Portugal

There has already been four meetings turning the project: In Estonia, Spain, Turkey, and Portugal. The last one took place in Almada from 3rd to7th October. Our two students and teachers started their jurney in dense rain which was quickly replaced by the flaming sunshine.

We were hosted by Escola secundaria de Cacilhas in Almada. We were charmed by their hospitality, on the other hand our days were full of visits and sightseeing, so we didn’t have much time for exploring.

We strongly enjoyed the hot weather and staying underneath the palm trees. On the first day, we all had to present our presentations and we think that everyone did a great job.

Like many other tourists, we were taken to the Royal Castle in Sintra and the park and palace of Monsserate. Romantical park, full of exotic trees and plants must have charmed everyone.

We also saw the beautiful Belem tower standing on the coast of inviting sea.

But aside from the things we saw, even better were the things we felt. We felt the openess, kind-heartness, politeness and cohesion of all the participants. Families welcomed us with open arms and every second of every day there was unforgettable experience.

We will always remember memories made in sunny Portugal.
