Portugal - DAY 1

Our Portuguese coordinator, Monica Ferreira, and Headmaster of the school, Manuel Pereira, gave a warming welcome to all the participating countries with an accordion concert. 

We were then given a brief tour of the school, allowing us to see a number of different classes being taught.
After coffee break, Portuguese coordinator Monica Ferreira held a workshop for teachers and pupils on Valentine’s handkerchiefs. Valentine's handkerchief is a handkerchief made from a fine linen cloth or cotton scarf, embroidered with various motifs. It is a piece of handicraft and clothing typical of the Minho, being used by women of marriageable age.
