The Comenius participants have finished all that work, and they have done it very well.  Students and teachers feel  proud of themselves and of the products they have carried out.
But all that has to be evaluated.

Comenius Trilateral Meeting - National Evening in Garbsen

No doubt, the National Evening is the long awaited event of the week.
Why is it so?
Every country has been preparing something special for the evening. Our hosts offer a buffet to recover from so much activity during the day and week. Music, dances, food, prizes, friendship... enlighten the evening. There are no more countries, only European friends living in different cities - Getxo, Bergen, Herouville Saint Clair, Garbsen.
Just look at the pictures and see.

That day was a family day. All of us did different things with our partners and explored Getxo.  For example, some of us went to the beach, others went bowling and went shopping.

On the first day at school we had warming -up activities in order to get to know one another. Then we went on the treasure hunt.  We had a short tour in the city. We visited the town hall and walked by the seaside to see the mansions, beaches, and the suspension bridge. We took the underground and had the first workshop at school. In the afternoon a part of our group went surfing and the others went shopping.

During the first two hours we finished our project and started working on other interesting tasks. The Spanish students organised typical Basque activities for us. We had the chance to try different enjoyable sport activities, such as “Sokatira”, “Txingak” and “Lokotxak”. We also practised folk dances as well.

In the evening we celebrated the National Evening. Each country presented a video or PowerPoint about their culture and school in the Salón de Actors. The students played a trivia quiz about Europe. The Spanish students performed a song about the Comenius program, and after we celebrated with traditional Spanish foods prepared by the families in the school canteen. Some students played Basque instruments (trikitixa and pandero). After dinner, the students went to the decorated gym to sing and dance together. The evening finished watching the slideshow that the students had prepared about the whole week. It was a perfect night to finish the trilateral meeting.
