For the first time we ate in the school´s canteen, everyone tried portuguese traditional food. Every country had to present their subject of blue growth.
Finland was the first - Marine energy, Latvia continues - Blue bioeconomy, then Greece - Coastal tourism, the last but not the least Romania - Blue growth in general.

On the other hand we are all sad because it is departure day tomorrow. Later each group presented their work. We worked so hard, I think we deserve dinner.
