Partners were picked up in front of each hotel and we all joined together in the auditorium of D. Dinis School where the headmaster and the Portuguese team welcomed our international guests.
After the coffe break, the netherlands team could present their workshop and we have leant how to dance and sing some interesting traditional songs.
Before lunchbreak, the group was introduced to a special class from D. Dinis. PIEF class: an Integrated Education and Training Program class which is integrated into a socio-educational measure which aims to promote compliance with compulsory education and social inclusion, conferring a 2nd or 3rd grade school qualification.This class has young people with a very specific profile, like: situations of school dropout; age gap compared to the level of education attended; indications/practice of delinquent behaviour; serious psychological problems; victims of child labour, victims of domestic violence or other kind of violence. They showed the Erasmus group traditional gipsy songs and dances.
After lunch, all the group integrated several sports activities in order to break the ice. Everyone had a nice time.
At the end of the day theTurkish team presented us a nice workshop with an amazing traditional dance involving the entire group.
It was the end of an amazing first day.]]> 2022-11-02 18:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/PernilleCecilieKoksbang/p7yko66dhyf4/wish/2367199418 Day 3 - Travelling around Aveiro and Costa Nova https://padlet.com/PernilleCecilieKoksbang/p7yko66dhyf4/wish/2367203428 day 3- 15th March
In a cloudy morning the group started a trip heading to Aveiro, where everyone could enjoy a gastronomical worshop learning how to do soft eggs. It was quite a sweet experience!
After that, the group visited the Salines.The salt production has always played a major role in the economy of Aveiro region. What used to be a thriving economic activity has somehow decreased in the last years. Only a few salt ponds have remained. In the Eco-Museum the international team could learn a lot about the salt extraction process. 
After such an amazing experience. we had a nice lunch and continued our trip to Costa Nova. The most picturesque aspect of Costa Nova is its coast road along which a line of wooden huts that are painted in brightly coloured stripes alternating with white. Built by fishermen as shelters and equipment stores, the huts have now been converted into rather characteristic holiday homes.
Even with a cold wind some couldn't resist trying the chilly water of the Atantic.
After a tiring but enriching day, we all went back to Coimbra to have dinner and rest.
