How amazing. After that we headed to Komárno- Komárom. We looked around and took a short walk in the centre, visiting Europe Platz. After enjoying our deli lunch in the Klapka Restaurant we almost got lost in the dark mazes of the Monostor Fortress, where we could feel the atmosphere of the past up close.

WEDNESDAY -Day 3, 25th January , Sports competitions, visiting Thermal Park in DS Sports, sports all around, Competitions! Faster, higher, stronger – how the olympic motto says, but - not just this time -together". 3 teams competed with each other: the Gummy Bears, the Winter Stars and the SuperGroup. There were mixed teams, girls and boys, Turks, Hungarians and us. The goal was to be able to work together in this way, even in a mixed composition, to think and compete as a team, overcoming linguistic and other obstacles. Well done, girls and boys!

FRIDAY - Day 5, 27th January – Workshop, Creating a common piece of art, Closing Remarks, Certificates of Attendance, Planning, Farewell And here we go! It is Friday. Time for a discussion, time for a workshop. The topic is not an easy one, but our intention is to face life and there are ups and downs. The question is how we can handle. Spot the issue, talk about it, face it, solve it, handle it. Stand up for yourself, you are unique. Respect the uniqueness of the individual. After the workshop we looked back, summed up the week by quizzes, creating a piece of art based on the project logo. And planning is crucial. The teachers had a great brainstorming session making plans for the following meeting. In the afternoon we had the Closing Remarks, ceremony with sharing the certificates of Attendance and displaying the Art-logo. After that we had a brief walk in the town. As the weather was cold, we continued our farewell programme drinking hot tea.
