Drugi dio predavanja održala nam je druga voditeljica - Jennifer. Prošli smo kroz osnovnu arhitekturu mozga. Prema sjećanju smo trebali složiti dijelove mozga uz njihova imena. Cilj aktivnosti bio je učenje kroz aktivnost; a ne pasivno slušanje predavanja. Procesom aktivnom učenja kroz suradnju zadržavamo veću količinu informacija, a također povećavamo motivaciju i znatiželju - što je izuzetno važno izazvati kod učenika. Kasnije smo detaljnije obradili pojedine hemisfere mozga, njihove uloge; ulogu neurotransmitera, neurona, sinapsi. Naglasak drugog dijela predavanja bio je na učenju kroz iskustvo što stvara nove veze u mozgu.

U slobodnim posljepodnevnim satima posjetile smo glavni grad Tenerifa - Santa Cruz. Bile smo u muzeju povijesti i arheologije otoka, obišle smo auditorij Santa Cruz koji je građen po uzoru na operu u Sidneyu, lokalnu tržnicu - Mercado de nuestra senora de Africa, glavni gradski trg - Plaza de Espana; te nekoliko drugih lokalnih znamenitosti.

Grad je okićen u božićnom ugođaju što stvara nama posebnu atmosferu toplog, tropskog Božića.

U poslijepodnevnim slobodnim satima posjetile smo grad Los Cristianos; koje je veliko turističko središte. Plovile smo brodom do mjesta okupljališta kitova koji žive u zaljevu grada.

Napisali smo svoju evaluaciju edukacije i dobili potvrde da smo ju završili.

Poslijepodne smo obišle Loro park u kojem se mogu vidjeti brojne životinjske i biljne vrste: papige, plamenci, majmuni, orke, delfini…

Nakon parka obišle smo i životopisni gradić La Orotava.

Nacionalni park, koji uključuje i vulkan, nalazi se na UNESCO-ovu popisu svjetske prirodne baštine od 2007. godine. 

Najposjećeniji je park u Španjolskoj i Europi.

Zadnja erupcije vulkana bila je 1909 godine.

Naglasak ostatka predavanja bio je na dinamičnim aktivnostima poput "4 corners: listen and react", gdje smo slušajući pjesmu morali hodati učionicom i ispisivati riječi koje smo čuli u četiri zadane kategorije. Zatim smo na temelju vizuala pisali kratku priču vođenu pitanjima, a nakon kreativnog pisanja dočekalo nas je još kreative: crtanje umne mape na temelju biografija poznatih ljudi s kanarskog područja. Umna mapa bila je predviđena za rad na asfaltu, no kiša nas je natjerala da svoje kreativne sposobnosti korištenjem šarenih kreda pokažemo na školskim klupama. Za kraj, jezično smo se, ali i praktično, bavili jogom.
Vremenska je prognoza spriječila vođenu šetnju gradom, no naše prijateljice i mi odvažile smo se na samostalno razgledavanje grada i kušanje lokalnih specijaliteta, iako su svi muzeji danas bili zatvoreni zbog potencijalnih vremenskih neprilika.

Our trip to mobility in Oradea started at 8 am. We made 2 stops and arrived at 3 in the afternoon. When we came there Raluca greeted us open handed. We took a 2 hour break to unpack and settle in our rooms. The hotel was really nice and the owner really hospitable. Then we went to get some dinner. Beacuse we really didn’t know where to go eat and it we were hungry, we went to the nearby McDonald's. After dinner we took a walk around town. At 8 to 9 pm we went back to the hotel because it started raining. But our first impressions of the people and the city were really positive!

And that was monday.

We came to the school at 9 am. When we came, the Romanian teacher came and greeted us and showed us the way to the library where we first met the Romanian students. In the library they offered us food and drinks, gave us a bottle of water and told us to sit down. The Romanian students came with a lot of gift bags, we stood up and exchanged gifts then introduced ourselves. Our students gave a presentation and then the teacher said a couple of words and we were ready to go. The Romanian teacher showed us some classrooms and we said hi to some students, the school was really big and colorful. We came to the English workshop where we met a teacher named Claudia. We paired up in a group and solved riddles together. After that we went to the IT workshop where we could pair up with Romanian students and get to know each other. We programmed ScottieGo, it was challenging, however it was fun! We ended the school tour and went to lunch(just Croatian teachers and their students and the Romanian teacher). After lunch we were already on the square so we met up with the Romanian students and went exploring Oradea. First we went to the city hall which had a big tower where we climbed up the stairs to the top to get an amazing view! After that we went to the main square and saw the black eagle on colorful glass, it was really pretty! We walked around the town and went to get some ice cream with the Romanian students and then we explored until we came to the moon church. The church was absolutely beautiful! After that we went to the fortress, there, we walked around and explored, took some photos and drove some Romanian students with us because they lived nearby the hotel. We could talk with them and get to know them more! We said goodbye and went inside the hotel. Later, we got some rest and went to dinner which was really delicious. It was really fun that day, we were a little bit tired but we enjoyed it!

Today we went to school at 9am. When we got to the school we went to the gym and there were little dancers. They danced really well and it was my favourite thing of the day! After traditional dancing one student Petra showed us jojo tricks and it was really cool. Afterwards,  we went to a chemistry workshop, where we made soap that we like. We chose the color, shape, scent that we wanted and I think that my soap turned out great! After the chemistry workshop we had an art workshop. There we made necklaces and the teacher complimented mine. I was so happy and proud! After all the workshops we went to the library and there we had a little presentation and a fashion show made out of recyclable materials. I really enjoyed it and my favourite outfit was a girl's dress made of trash bags and the funniest was one made out of a math notebook. The school was over and we went to etno and history museums. We saw old traditional clothing, things that they used everyday. For me the history museum was way better and more interesting than the etno museum. 

We woke up around seven and went downstairs to eat breakfast. After breakfast we got on the bus with the Romanian students and had to ride an hour straight to the Bear’s cave. After we got to the cave we had to climb up a little, it took around 15 minutes. When we got around the middle of the hill, we entered the cave. The inside was massive with many stalactites and stalagmites. The cave was super cool. I found it very impressive, seeing such a cave which naturally occurred. After a while we saw a full bear fossil, not to mention many other bones of them, and our guide explained why the cave got its name, around twenty thousand years ago a bare species lived within the cave but tragedy struck, an earth quaqe lead to the cave entrances collapsed, leading to them being trapped inside. They turned to cannibalism and ate each other, leading to extinction of their species. A little later we got out of the cave and back on the bus. We were on for another hour or so, till we got to Felix, we sat down for lunch, it was a great restaurant, all we ordered was good. I, personally, ordered a chicken pasta. After eating, we went for a walk, we went to see two churches, one orthodox and the other catholic. Both were stunning, and then we went to the ponds. Sadly, the lotuses weren't in bloom, so we just saw murky ponds, tho, there were turtles so, that was nice. Otherwise, not the best part of the day. Afterwards we went back towards the bus, a short walk away, we got in the bus, and after around 10 minutes, we got to the aquapark. We got to go in the indoor pools. There were 4 slides, a yellow, green, blue and red slide. It was very fun, going on the slides and going up and down, not to mention relaxing in the big pools. After an hour and half we had to go, so a short bus ride led us back to the hotel. We went to have dinner, which was honestly amazing.

After dinner, we were allowed to go out on our own so we spent some time in the park across the hotel and had a blast just chilling and hanging out. All in all, it was an amazing day.

The last day at school. We were both excited and sad. We came to school and the Romanian students had some presentations and even a speech. We voted how we loved this excursion in a survey. I thought that it was really fun and that I learned a lot of stuff. I also met some wonderful kids and gained some new friendships, not to mention that my English got a lot better since I had to speak it most of the day. We got our certificates and then we said our goodbyes. Romanian students gave a beautiful speech about our mobility and gave us a big friendship card for memory. Also, Anči thanked everyone on out behalf for organizing this amazing mobility. Then Romanian and Croatian teachers also gave inspiring speeches about the importance of programs such as Erasmus + which brings schools, teachers and students together all over Europe and solidifies values that we all share like cultural identity, good teaching practices and good communication and collaboration skills and making friends. Finally, the principal gave a nice speech for everybody and that was the last thing at school. After certificate ceremony we went to Felix baths to have our lunch at the local restaurant and then we had some free time in the city center and a shopping mall to buy some things/souvenirs. About 6 pm we were packing our bags so we didn't need to do it tomorrow but after that we had our delicious dinner. The dinner was great. I loved it and after that we had some free time to go out. We took a walk in the city and spent some time in the park but soon we headed to bed because we were pretty tired after an emotional and exhausting day.

We woke up about 7 am so we could get our breakfast before we went back to Zagreb. Our host Raluca came to see us off with her cute son. She brought her school's memorial book and our teachers said thank you and signed it to commemorate this wonderful experience. The hotel owner also came to tell us goodbye. So, our suitcases were on the bus and we headed home at 8 am.We were going to stop at Budapest to see the city. Our Budapest guide took us to the underground and we rode from the Heroes square to the city's center. We had a city tour and we saw a lot of things.The tour guide showed us everything. The tour ended at the Parliament building which is very impressive. We moved to the other side of the building where we saw some historical Croatian coat of armours so we took a group photo there. After the tour, we had lunch at a fancy restaurant. It was amazing. At about 4 pm, our bus driver picked us up in the city and we went home. After several stops we were finally home at around 8 pm. This was truly a great experience and I hope we are going next year again.
