8 - 12 March 2011

 

From  8th to 12th March 2011 all the cooperating countries  took part in the meeting in Lleida in Spain. In total, there were 70 students and 27 teachers from Norway, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Spain.
"Outdoor activities" was the main topic of our meeting ,therefore, each delegation was required to prepare a film showing how teenagers of particular countries spend their free time outdoors. The films were presented on the 1st day at INS Josep Lladonosa school. School gallery>>>
Later  we went to the park "La Mitjana"  where we took part in some sport competitions. We were divided into groups so that we could get to know each other better. >>>Park gallery<<< Then, all the students and teachers went to the town hall where all the delegations were warmly welcomed by the representative of local authorities. >>>Town hall gallery<<< In the afternoon we went sightseeing and we were introduced with the history of the city. >>>The city gallery<<<

On the second day, at 9 a.m. all the students and teachers met outside the school and went to a wonderful,  small ancient town called Alquézar which is situated in the  mountains. The view was breathtaking! Mountains everywhere, areas and trees with flowers. Moreover,  the sun was shining and everyone was happy. But it wasn't everything we could see there. We were doing hiking under the supervision of very sociable and funny guides. We also had a gorgeous walk in the canyon and we saw the river whose crystal clear water charmed us. This trip turned out to be a great activity to integrate all the nationalities. After this lovely excursion we had some time to relax at home and later went together to the disco. >>>Alquézar gallery<<<

On the third and unfortunately the last day of our stay we went to Barcelona. The first place we visited was the sports centre – CAR. Walking around the building we could see the future Olympic champions practising. That was a very interesting experience. After that, we set off to the city centre of Barcelona where we saw the most famous monuments of the city such as Sagrada Familia. Everyone had an hour to buy some souvenirs or to relax. The final point of the trip was a visit to FC Barcelona stadium, which was the greatest attraction of the day. All the students as well as the teachers were thrilled that they could see it. At the end,  each of us could go shopping in an original FC Barcelona stadium’s shop or take a photo with Messi. >>>Barcelona gallery<<<
In the evening we had farewell dinner at school. Spanish students together with their parents prepared delicious traditional meals and the teachers  During the dinner we were listening to the Spanish teachers playing wonderful music. After eating and dancing all the people went home to relax.
Finally, it was time to say thank you and goodbye. Many people were crying because we realised that miraculous journey had already finished. We promised to come back to Barcelona and Lleida for sure! >>>Farewell dinner gallery<<<
