The 8th Meeting in Lithuania.  Impressions by Latvian team.

From the 19th February till 25th February we participated in Project Meeting in Lithuania with project coordinator Tatjana Revina and History teacher Natalia Dektereva.

It was a really exciting  experience and a push to improve our language and social skills. Also live communication with project partners and shared activities played a big role in the development of our project.

On the first day we arrived at school and were welcomed with live orchestra performance! We were impressed! Our host students showed us the school and we liked it a lot. The school is very nice, green and comfartable. The classroomas are clean, modern and well-equipped. All the students and teachers were very helpful and warm to us.

    On the same day we presented our “homework” – “Our life is active and interesting”. We were a bit nervous but everything went fine.

Then we worked in international groups, did different project activities led by Lithuanian students.

In the evening we went to a Welcome Party. We had a great time there and got to know each other better.

On Tuesday we visited some lessons and went on a guided tour to Anishkai. We visited Bread Museum, where we baked bread, ethnographic exposition (Horse Museum). 

Also we had a walk along Tree-Top Path. During this tour we learned a lot about the history and traditions.

We spent the evening with our host families and it was fun!

Wednesday was the most challenging day for us. We participated in the Debates about “Advantages and Disadvantages of using ICT at School”. We prepared some ideas at home, and we composed our speech at school. But anyway, it was rather difficult for us to  speak in front of an audience!

On Thursday we visited a wonderful Castle in Trakai and went to the capital of Lithuania – Vilnius. Vilnius is a beautiful city with many sights.

On Friday we showed what we had done in groups and evaluated our work. We got our certificates.

The week passed so quickly and it is time to say goodbye. It was such a sad moment for all of us!

We are very thanlful to our host families Ugne, Justine, Agne, Enrika and their parents for this unforgettable week!
