3rd Comenius Meeting-Cserkeszőlő, Hungary

The 3rd Comenius meeting within the framework of the WARM AT HOME PROJECT took place in Hungary in the period of 23rd -30th March 2014. The small town of Cserkeszőlő playing the role of the host welcomed the delegations of the partner countries ( Poland, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain and Turkey) with open arms. This time 18 teachers and 16 students took part in the conference held during the last week of March. The meeting officially began with an opening ceremony performed in our school during which our headmistress greeted the participants and handed out our presents. Afterwards, the audience listened to the national anthems and the vocal version of the WAH project anthem which was recorded by our school choir for this particular occasion.  Students from each partner country dressed in their own national folk costume added to the feeling of emotion and solemnity of the event.
The programme went according to the agenda and was characterized by various activities.
-interactive lesson for students on renewable energy sources
-quiz contest on the culture and history of the partner countries
-meeting sessions during which we discussed matters of documentation
-presentations on Easter traditions and systems of education
-guided tour around Budapest
-trip to Kecskemét with visit to the Leskowsky musical instrument museum
-meeting with the mayor of Tiszasas
-visit to greenhouses, a hydro power plant and the heating centre of Cserkeszőlő
-educational trip to the Ópusztaszer National Heritage Park
On behalf of the Hungarian WAH team I want to express my sincere thanks to all the participants who filled the atmosphere with joy, warmth and friendliness. We also owe many thanks to the support and positive feedback.
