Teachers' meeting in Lousada





The host of the fourth project teachers’ session, held in October 2013, was EB23 de Lousada – part of Agrupamento Vertical de Escolas Lousada Centro. During the meeting the representatives of the partner institutions gave feedback on trying out examples of “fair play practice” and the implementation of “Let’s get fit” programme. They also made specific arrangements on a new task - working out three recipes for healthy and tasty food, typical of each country involved in the project, and sending them to all other schools to try out.

While staying in Portugal the participants of the session had the opportunity to get to know what the Portuguese educational system is like (tours of pre-primary, primary and secondary schools, monitoring lessons, the pupils’ performances, a visit to the local teachers training centre, talks with the Mayor of Lousada) as well as broaden their knowledge about the geography, history and culture of Norte Region (guided tours around such places of interest as Oporto and Guimarães).
