● The third meeting of the project included an exchange visit with 6 students and 2 teachers per group. We managed to take our Headmaster with us. He was really happy to be able to lead the team. The groups had to travel by plane, train and bus and go from S. Giovanni to Otrokovice via Pisa and Vienna airport.

Hard preparation work

It was a hard and useful work in preparation for the meeting

● The groups had to prepare in advance for the presentations both on the culture and traditions of their region of origin, Tuscany, and on the scientific experiments that they had decided to bring with them for the demonstrations and science fair in Otrokovice

●The arrival at Otrokovice’s school

Our team was eager to make friends and to exchange with other groups. The students had studied English for so long and saw in this meeting an opportunity to use all they had learned and to pass from theory to practice. Their young age gives them a special taste for new foreign things and the curiosity to see the World. Erasmus provided a splendid opportunity to do such things and to enhance their preparation, skills and education in the process.
