Grozesti

Today it was a long day in Romania. The morning began at the Grozesti school, about 60 km from Craiova. It is a school of few resources, which takes us back to a Portuguese past of the 70’s, with houses built with clay and wood and toilets outside the houses. But it was that the time in which children played on the grass and had merry-go-rounds and swings in the school playground. And that's what we saw today. Five nationalities joined by the will to communicate and to know each other on continuous learning. Starting with a basic vocabulary exchange of each language in a fast course in which everyone was simultaneously teachers and students, going through lunch made by the mother of the school’s headmaster, having a live class of the Romanian architecture of the area and an ecological fashion show, the morning and part of the afternoon was spent. This was also the birthday of Maks from Poland and Rui from Portugal and all partners were singing the birthday song in English and also in each language. Back to Craiova there was still time to visit the magnificent botanical garden wouldn’t this be the environment club!Read more
