Transnational meeting in Hungary - day 3

On our final day went to the capital city of Hungary, Budapest to explore its architectural and cultural abundance. We went on a long walking sightseeing tour in the city, where-  among others - we admired Buda Castle, St Stephen Basilica, Vörösmarty Square.
We also visited the Hospital in the Rock to find out some information about the history of Hungary and see the place where many doctors and volunteers dedicated  themselves to saving countless lives during the Second World War and in 1956.
We ended the day and also our first meeting with a dinner together and said goodbye.
We will cooperate on all the activities we planned agreed on during the meeting and we are looking forward to the first student exchange in Spain in February, 2016.

Transnational meeting in Hungary : 1st day

Our first day's programme was very tight, but really useful.


We met our new project partners and we introduced ourselves to each other. We looked around the Hungarian school and could get a glimpse of the different programmes and activities going on. 
It was followed by a fascinating series of presentations on the participating schools, their towns and also some background information on their countries. It was extremely interesting to find out all this information and get to know our project partners a bit better. 




We have revised the timeline of our project and discussed all the activities of the first project year. We also assigned roles and duties and reached an agreement on dates of mobilities of first project year. We have examined and looked at the different common tools we will use for project management and dissemination, with a special emphasis on Twinspace, Facebook and the common project blog. 

At the end of a hard day full of work we had some recreational activity and visited the local bowling alley to take part in a great team-building activity of bowling :-) It was good fun!
