Thinking of the next future meeting in Hungary, we started preparing our studnets in forms of lectures to give them some idea about what they can work on.
One of the forms was a lecture on Eagle Owl. It was presented by a member of one of the National Parks we visited during the programme. It focused mainly on the human influence on the Owl’s habitat. Thus, indirectly we introduced our students into the next main idea of students exchange in Hungary.
Hi everybody!!
We’re Rossella and Agata. The trip to Spain was a great experiencefor us. We spent four beautiful days in Salamanca and two days in Madrid together with European boys and girls. We want to remember the best moments of those days. The best time was certainly when we visited the Valsain forest and spent some time dancing and singing songs from the different countries. The presentations of the five countries about the environment, then, were really interesting and we are proud of ours about Etna and the East coast of Sicily!!!. Salamanca is a beautiful city with an excellent University. Students are everywhere.
Madrid is a real capital, big and full of traffic. We visited the “Reina Sofia” museum to see the extraordinary Picasso’s masterpiece: “Guernica”. We met the Turkish group there.
We hope we left a good impression of us and to see everybody in Sicily next year.
March the 7th we left for Spain. When we arrived in Salamanca, the families welcomed us very warmly and took us home. We spent wonderful days there. Every morning we woke up and went to school. Here we joined the other students and all teachers and left school to visit a lot of places. The happiest day was when we visited Segovia. It is a beautiful city and the landscape is wonderful. That day we all had lunch together and we started to make friends with our European friends, Turkish, Polish and Hungarian. Unfortunately The Spanish students rarely came with us as they were very busy at school. When we went back to our host families they prepared typical tasty dishes and did their best for us. They were fantastic! we did a lot of laughs with Noe and Marta!!
The day we left was awful. We fell in love with Salamanca!! I miss everybody a lot!!
