And here it is, an article about how we got to know the city where most of us was for the first time in their life - Vilnius!
Some of us had never flown before, most of us had not experienced four flights within one week period, and most of us were surprised by the bus-size propeller planes which were supposed to take us to Vilnius. But the journey itself was only a franction of what we were about to experience on this first mobility of our project.
The teams of the four cooperating countries met unusually at school on Sunday. Sixty students, over a dozen teachers and high expectations filled the theatre hall of the hosting grammar school. The students finally got to know their foreign peers live. Games were played, we had a great tour around the hosting school premises and got the chance to see all of their beautiful classrooms, a video was made, we learned a dance whose name we will never ever forget - "Flashmob", and we also found out what was going to await us throughout the week.
We experienced Vilnius in the sunshine, in the rain, in the frost, in the snow, during the daylight or at night. We have visited monuments whose names we will not disclose now, deliberately, because we hope that you will have a look at the attached link, try out our HERIT-APP yourself and guess what we actually saw. But! This is still not all that was waiting for us in Lithuania...
Lithuanians took us to one of the most beautiful restaurants the country offers to prepare our own dinner - the national delicacy: Kibinai. Of course, we also tasted the original made by real chefs, and we enjoyed it, but who can say they have had a chance to prepare a national dish in such environment and have fun with all other 50 people trying to create Kibinai just like you?! We highly recommend that you try to make this dish at home.
When we got to that "home" thing - would you believe some of us did not want to go home? My fellow travelers will pardon me when I reveal that the goodbyes and parting were full of tears. Could it have been better?!
