It is the first day of the meeting for students and teachers from the schools participating in the project. After a welcome by the director of the school, various activities were carried out with teachers and students in order to get to know each other and break the ice.
The first one consisted of a performance of students of our school who encouraged all the participants to dance some traditional local dances.
Then the students continued in the playground with one more activity while the teachers carried out a visit around the school where they could see the facilities and participate in some classes with a double objective, to make the participants know the school and at the same time the Spanish students had the opportunity to know them.
To disseminate the project to the municipality, a theatrical tour to Puerto Real was made. A group of students from the school dressed in traditional costumes of the 18th century presented our city and its different symbolic buildings to the teachers, students as well as to the general population of the city.
