Now that we have arrived safe and sound in our respective homes I have

some time to write a few words of gratitude towards our magnificent host:

the most INCREDIBLE PAUL.

I think I am not exagerating to say that the program was a professional balance between work, leisure, education and

fun.

Each day there was a program full of unexpected events and a great variety

of activities and people hosted over different places, sometimes far apart.

Really a marvel of organisation!

Paul, you really deserve our greatest respect for organising all this!

From now on you certainly deserve the nick name "Paolo incredibilo" for ever!

47 students,15 teachers

Our big Comenius family in Eeklo

In Eeklo we had lots of CULTURE like the performances organised for us while touring the city. Before this project started I never had heard of a

place called "Eeklo" but now I know better:that cosy small town with its amazing Sint Vicentius on the place of a former monastery, its fine chapel part with

singing teachers, the flourishing cultural life, sport facilities and a night life for the young (and wild).


and…. they proved to pay attention to

sports as well.

Here we are skating


…. doing capueira

And…even salsa


TEACHERS’ MEETING

The Turkish team and the Portuguese team introduced us their

prposals for the 5° and 6° issues of the magazine . The

coordinator gave suggestions about the organization of the last

meeting in Palermo.


Amazingly enough we also managed to involve all of our students too in the discussion within the

framework of a very busy and tight program.


A bit to my amazement our

students enjoyed and appreciated the

lessons too that morning.

places

And after work we started our plan of excursions

As our host, the incredible Paul, also works at the local TV

station we paid a visit to this studio as well


the old and the new!

The visit to Gent:

The Castle to view the city from the top


And….the wonderful boat trip along the

canals


Bruxelles :

In the heart of institutions


In the heart of our continent

We – as a group – are a miniature reflection of the

people of Europe

and……

In Brussels we found the

miniature of Europe


We liked to rocket SKY HIGH into

the Atomium

after which we had a wonderful

view over Brussels


But what would a visit to Brussels and to

Belgium be without tasting the delicious

and famous chocalates?

Or drinking one of the many special beers, such as here in this most famous Gent cafe “De Dulle Griet” where a 250 different types of beer can be

served


The last excursion : Bruges


And then it comes the time to say good-byeI don't know how that is with you but I found the meeting very rewarding in

different respects.

Not only did we and our students experience many different cultural events but also in the sphere of personal experiences and interactions with other people we all

learned a great deal again.

May be it sounds a bit silly to speak of "personal growth" but I certainly see it that way. Although I cannot judge for you it certainly apllies for me.

And here, the final meal….. which was concluded with a wonderful “thank you, thank you, thank you….” and a singing and dancing together

the flower you gave us with the "farewell message" remind us of the

friendship of Eeklo.

after which we all felt

One big European Family….

WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF IT ALL….

And so, many “Thank You’s “ to the Belgian Team and their coordinator “Paolo Incredibilo”

See you in PALERMO!
