Monday 23.10.: Meeting our new friends and learning more about the Italian way of life

On Monday we had our first breakfast at the hotel, with the Spanish teams (Galician & Catalan), because the German team hadn't arrived to Civitavecchia yet. They arrived to school a bit later on Monday morning.






First we gave presentations related to our schools (videos), and then we saw a video about the Horizon to the Future -project (our project!), which has been going on for 3 years now. Two parts, which are missing from there, are the part about the current meeting in Civitavecchia and the last meeting of the project. In the noon we had a walking tour related to different buildings of the city and enjoyed a fairly different lunch compared to the one on Monday. This time we had one long table and we sat together with our new friends from other countries (German team, Catalan team and Galician team). The idea behind this was to get some conversation going on.


In the evening we had two hours spare time before our evening activity. The activities included a few icebreaker games (prepared by different teams) and a snack time, when we tasted snacks and candy from other countries. (I think that the Finnish table was the most exciting one. It looked like everyone went to another round for rye chips :) ) It was hilarious fun, everyone laughed all the time. The activities lasted for about two hours. After that we were supposed to go to a pizzeria at the hotel, but we made some changes to our plans and chose to go to another pizzeria near our hotel. The pizzas there were amazing. One half of the pizza we had was made with mushrooms and the other half was a normal Margherita pizza. The meal lasted for an hour or so. After that we were able to go back to the hotel and have some free time, and before 10 o'clock we had to be in bed. That's our post for Monday, thank you!
