FIFTH DAY

This is the last day of the meeting. Polish group and Turkish group went back to their homes, but we spent the morning all together visiting Agrigento. We could see ancient Greek Ruins and a wonderful place made for the sea waves, for the force of nature, Scala dei Turchi.

PUPILS AND TEACHERS IN "SCALA DEI TURCHI"

This was an unforgettable experience for pupils and teachers, but specially for pupils because they had the chance to meet each other personally. We think that is the best experience we could keep from this Comenius Project.
