It was 9am on 19th October and the team from Czechia was already at the entrance to our school gate, ready to be welcomed. A group of three teachers and eleven students with an average age of 11, from Pacov, Czechia, returned the visit our school made in 2021 and the school was delighted to welcome them, represented by teachers Fátima Morais and Teresa Teixeira.
The students from the Erasmus club who had already taken part in a mobility and club activities were in charge of preparing the morning’s activities. So, in a small ceremony in the auditorium, the students from the Erasmus+ club put together a presentation of our traditions, music, dance, Earth Club, political personalities, among others, and after a short tour of the school, led by them, they returned to the room of origin and performed a kahoot on what had been presented. It was a very fun and interactive moment.
Our students, as always, proved to be very welcoming and great hosts, developing instant friendships, as only young people can.
In the afternoon, there was a worthwhile visit to the Ethnographic Museum of Póvoa de Varzim, where the history of our city and its traditions were presented to the delight of our guests, followed by a visit to the Póvoa de Varzim Town Hall with r Diamantino Batista as the host.
The following day, in line with the established school programme and focusing on our traditions, the Czech group took part in activities such as traditional games with teacher Isabel Campos and handicrafts with teachers Conceição Rego and Marta Moreira.
