In the morning we had the last workshop to finish the project and prepare the presentation of the project. At midday all the students presented the different tasks they had prepared, such as the digital calendar, the reports, the debates, role plays, drama, etc.
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.
