It was such an incredible week that I will definitely never forget.
Getting to know the beautiful places we visited and exchanging ideas with the other students is what made the week so special.
I am very grateful that I was able to experience this week in Portugal.

I loved meeting new people and becoming friends with them. Such international connections are very valuable. I also liked to see Lisbon and the area around. The beautiful landscapes made it even more fun. The activities we did, let us built a connection and get to know different cultures and languages. I can say that I never want to miss the experience that I gained within this week.

We arrived in Portugal on Sunday. We were picked up from the airport by a Portuguese teacher and brought to the hotel, where we checked in and already met some of the other students that took part in the project.

The actual program started on Monday. In this padlet, you can see what we did throughout the week! :)
