Morning welcome & meeting which discussed in detail the schedule and responsibilities for planned project activities in all partner schools. We also reviewed the Erasmus application report from our co-ordinating National Agency in Croatia.

After lunch, our co-ordinator Danijela Takac and her colleague Marina Mocan facilitated an eTwinning workshop which introduced the group to our TwinSpace project area.  We agreed on techical details such as a common font and font-size, resolution of photos and layout of the welcome page and subpages. An overview was given as to how each school co-ordinator should register on eTwinning and invite students and teachers from their school into the project Twinspace.

The co-ordinators met in the morning to discuss issues relating to the budget and make financial decisions linked to teacher and student mobilities. The division of tasks was agreed. The other teachers had free time to visit Claremorris or nearby park. 

Afterwards, we visited Gortskehy National School and met the pupils. The teachers visited each class, chatted with the pupils and were given a demonstration of Gaelic football.  The afternoon ended with a walking tour of Westport on the west coast of Mayo.  In the evening we had a meal together in a local pub with entertainment afterwards provided by the pupils followed by a traditional Irish music session.
