First trans-national meeting


In September 2009 occurred the first trans-national visit in Lousado. It was time to meet the partner countries for the first time: Ireland (coordinator William Devlin), Germany (Mic Hale), Spain (Pilar de la Torre and Francisco Ascón), Finland (Irma Kuusisto). Italy was still waiting for the approval...


The main goal of this meeting was to check and revise the partners' roles, to prepare the second visit, which will take place in Hannover and, last but not least, to get acquainted with all the partners and to share with them bits of our culture and traditions.

During their stay, the partners got to know the school and its dynamics, met the students, who welcomed them in a Chemistry lesson and offered some bath salts prepared in the class.



We also visited Oporto, where all the partners stayed over - we took a peek at "Casa da Música", visited the Serralves Museum, experienced a cruise in the Douro which ended with a taste of Porto and enjoyed some typical dishes of our gastronomy.
