3rd Project Meeting in Castel Frentano, Italy from May 18 to 23, 2015
In this meeting all of us saw each other again and presented different activities (5th to 8th ones) of our C.A.T.C.H. project. It has been a wonderful experience as it took place in two different parts. The first part was in Rome -St.Peter’s Basilica and outside the Vatican City- and the second part was in Castel Frentano, the Italian host village in the East Cost of Italy. The experience was unique, particularly when all project pupils demonstrated the 8th activity outside St.Peter’s Basilica, using the Body Language. Visit to Rome was an architectural experience for everyone, as the city itself constitutes a fine example of architecture. Pupils and teachers were both astonished at the wonderful constructions of the Eternal City. The second part of our meeting, took place in Castel Frentano, where our partner school is. The whole visit was wonderful as pupils, teachers, parents and local authorities did their best to make us feel like home. In Castel Frentano, we were given the chance to discuss the completion of the first year activities and plan the continuation of the 2nd year ones.
