The second mobility we organised took place in Colégio Monteflor, Carnaxide. Spanish and Croatian schools travelled to this small village next to Lisbon to spend a week working with the Portuguese mates. The meeting began with a Welcome Ceremony with music and flags at the school entrance.

That same day we had the opportunity to walk around the school and meet all the students and teachers, from 2 to 10 years old, and they showed the visiting schools the products of the projects they had done during the year. This way Colégio Monte Flor could explain how their methodology works.

Once we could see what they had been doing at Colégio Monte Flor for the last few months, it was time to take part on school life and the visiting schools joined the everyday activities and routines. During the week, students (and teachers) took part on traditinal games activities, meditation sessions, workshops, technology games, eco-art activities and even an eco-trip to practise some sports such as canoeing and mini-golf. All of them were organised so that both students and teachers could actively interact with each other and learn from this experience.

Meditation sessions

Group work

Working with ICTs

Taking part on

Practising sports together

Apart from working together at school, we also had time to visit Lisboa and its surroundings, guided by teachers and staff from Colégio Monte Flor. The students could learn about Portugal, its people and their cultural heritage.
