Diary of the Preparatory visit
the first day , monday 12th of december
Working at school, IES.J.Rodrigo Botet in Manises (Valencia)Welcome!!!
We introduced Polish teachers, Agniezska and Kassia, to the manager team and also to students who probably will participate in the project next year. The Spanish Team who would collaborate in the project met to the Polish teachers. Nice to meet you!!! After that, we met and discussed about the most important keys of the project: topics, aims, the best dates of exchanges in each country. We had the lunch in a restaurant in Manises, of course Paella!!!.... but not too much..... After that, a short tour by car in Manises to see some important streets and industrial areas and returned to the hotel to rest. It was a very hard day!!!! |
