The library at Escola da Sé hosted participants of the Erasmus+ project “Play Your Way to Health.” Although it was an unconventional school day, the Erasmus+ activities went ahead, allowing the students from Spain, Lithuania, and Portugal to further strengthen the bonds they have been building throughout the project.

We welcomed our partners with brief remarks from Tiago Tadeu, the school cluster director; a brilliant musical performance by students Ariana Amaral, Mafalda Renca, and António Alves (from class 8.º D at Escola da Sé); and the reading of an acrostic poem by Maria (from class 8.º C at Escola CBA) and António Alves.

Following the formation of teams—each comprising students from all three countries—the morning was dedicated to six workshops: Sports, Nutrition and Science, Crafts (soap-making), Seed Identification, Building an Insect Hotel, and Creating Bookmarks.

During the afternoon, the Erasmus+ teams put their knowledge of the city of Guarda to the test in a scavenger hunt organized by the School Library and the Erasmus Team: “1056: The Ultimate City Cultural and Green Quest” Scavenger Hunt
