4. A committed team
● The third meeting of the project included an exchange visit
with 6 students and 2 teachers per group. We managed to
take our Headmaster with us. He was really happy to be
able to lead the team. The groups had to travel by plane,
train and bus and go from S. Giovanni to Otrokovice via
Pisa and Vienna airport.
8. Hard preparation work
It was a hard and useful work in preparation for the
meeting
● The groups had to prepare in advance for the
presentations both on the culture and traditions of their
region of origin, Tuscany, and on the scientific experiments
that they had decided to bring with them for the
demonstrations and science fair in Otrokovice
10. Our team was eager to make friends and to
exchange with other groups. The students had
studied English for so long and saw in this
meeting an opportunity to use all they had
learned and to pass from theory to practice.
Their young age gives them a special taste for
new foreign things and the curiosity to see the
World. Erasmus provided a splendid
opportunity to do such things and to enhance
their preparation, skills and education in the
process.
12. Team workTeam work
● The program was very rich in events, visits and
work sessions. Very few moments vere left
unplanned. The team moved around using
public transport mainly. They visited the ZOO
park in Lešná, had a boat trip but also spent
hours working together with other groups
watching and assisting or making experiments
and showing or watching presentations.

18. Science lecture
The program included a lecture by
Michael Londesborough on Science
popularization and chemical experiments
and a visit to shoe manufacturer

accessible and easy to understand for
everybody is at the root of our project and
various means for making this goal reached
are researched by our teams
