A visit to Turkey

Our fourth mobility has just finished. We have had a lot of experiences , we have made a lot of  friends, and  we will always cherish the  wonderful memories we had together ! We already miss the sense of belonging we shared.
During the meeting we shared our interests and  experiences, we talked about common values and made entries into our common "Diary". We had a workshop on the ways we can help the environment and made an exhibition with the materials we had prepared beforehand. And most of all - we had a wonderful time together! See for yourself!

European Day of Languages - just before we hit the road to Turkey!

We will soon practice English and all the other languages of our partnership!
