MERHABA TURKEY
On May 3rd Elise, Emma, Victoria, Ingrid and Camilla together with their teachers, Anne and Flavio was on their way to Adana.What to come up should be new experiences we probably never would meet again.
The aim for this meeting was Sports and Collaboration. The students presented sports from the their partnership country. For instance, Norway presented sports from Spain, Spain from Norway and so on.
Countries taking part in Adana was Turkey, Norway, Greece, Germany, Poland, Sloakia and Spain. Netherland was to take part but whitdraw.
At Sadika Sabanci Secondary School in Adana the pupils met us with an overwhelming arrivel. The host school with 1600 pupils stood in front of us, pupils welcomed us like we should be Justin Bieber all of us. The friendliness, the smiles, the loud was really a sensitive moment.
Everyday we was able to explore Turkey in beatiful weather. We were in Tarsus where the Romans once upon a time lived, and where the famous apostle Paulus was born 10 A.D. Later the week we went to Cappadocia, a very old historical region not far away from Tarsus. We also had a city trip with bus.
During those seven days we got to know many pupils, both pupils and teachers became aware of the old history Turkey was a part of, we ate Adana kebab, most delicious kebab ever, we saw wealth but also poverty, we met a people that often had not so much material wealth, but offered warmth and friendship.
Teşekkür ederim Turkey! We miss u!
Meeting in Portugal October 2015
Posted November 2015
City: Leiria
The trip to Leiria 2 hours south of the capitol Lisboa was without students. The reason is that the norwegian students only shall visit five countries; Germany, Greece, Turkey, Poland and at last Netherland. This goal or mission for this trip was to talk about "Festivities" and problemsolving. The students had presentetations about local festivities like pop-festivals, summer events, other special events that is typical for the place they live. For instance, Norway talked about what happend in Horten during the year, the germans about what happens in Meiningen and so on. The issue the teacher had to talk about was "problem solving". How to deal with difficult issues both in school and in private companies. The main point was to show how the portuguese school solved problems or what challenges they had with pupils with individual needs.
The scool in Leiria. Situated close to the city. The school had a nice buliding, was pretty big, had a bi yard for activities. No football arena btw.
To the right you can see a view from a local church
This church was on a top of a hill and had a
beautiful view to the city.
Below you can see the thursday events at school.
This event was a dinner mad by the parents to
show their interest in the project and to show their
great hospitality. Great food, nice people and a
fine evening for all the parents, teachers and students
The trip was great and the parents, the
teachers and students made the trip for
the hosting countries very nice and memorable.

Stay in Spain was without students, the aim for teh meeting was communication and family life. The norwegians made a video and shared their polish family project with tehe other students.

About 24000 inhabitans, one shopping senter, one high school and some coffe shops and a little pub was the scenery. But the norwegian coast line could also offer some great short trips to the sea side, viking center and Løvøya.
CZECH REPUBLIC MAY - JUNE 2016
Meeting in Breclav in Czech was a great experience for all the participating countries. Zuzana brought us to fantastic Prague, and really nice Brno for a dinner and a litle trip, to the great castle in Lednice, and a fantastic boat trip on the river close to the castle, so we went to Valtice, a small town for some shopping and lunch, and friday we ended up on a hill with a fantastic view over Mikulov.
The friday evening ended at school with a great dinner party for all students, teachers and parents. It was a nigth to remember. Thank U Zuzana for bringing us to friendly and nice Czech Republic:)
Meeting in Poland, the land of forests Sept/Oct 2016
Meeting in Poland and Rawicz is one of the the third last meeting in the project. It started at 25th. of September and ends at 1st of October.
Rawicz was the destination this time. We landed sunday afternoon and was met by patty, the coordinator oft the project in Poland. Bus to Rawicz took about one and a half hour. All my four students Martine, Julie, Marthe, Kristine and Sara was on their way to meet their host family situated close to school. The week went fast, we was in Krakow, and in Auschwitz and the salt mines deep down in the ground. Suddenly the week just ended. The trip was a historic very interesting trip, and one should go to Poland. thanks for hosting all of us Poland!
In Slovakia the activities should be MIGRATION. The students had made their presentation for almost the last time. In many ways they did a very good presentation. Slovakias presentation had made an interwiev with some refugees from among Syria. Slovakia presented the migration project very well. Mostly all countries had tried to make a domestic presentation using information given by the sharing pairs. For instance, Norway presentated Czech Republic and Czech Republic presented the norwegians. Unfortunately there are still some problems during the presentations. The voice is often very low, and some countries could be better doing the presentation in a way that sounds less "google copy". So, some countries have more to learn. Anyway, all over the countries who make the presentation as we agreed have done a very good job.
Slovakia January 15th to 21st 2017
The stay in Slovakia made us understand that even if a country dosnt have all the resources that seems to be as common in some western countries; the warm, the happiness, the beautiful areas, the great cities and the good food and hospitality is even more visible here than other places. So thank u very much CHLMEC!
The last meeting i ALMELO The Netherlands
The last meeting in the land of the flying Dutchmen took place in the city of Almelo between march 5th and 11th.It started in a cold and snowing day at the airport in Sandefjord,worst day ever in March 2017. But during the flight to Amsterdam the weather became better and we landed in normal dutch weather according to our dutch friends, normal dusk rain. During the trip in The Netherlands we took part i some really funny events. The most memorable for all of us was indeed Amsterdam because we didnt see anything. The weather was like a rainy top ten rain day in Amsterdam, it was awful, the day just rained off. So Amsterdam was noothing else than looking down to the ground, getting wet and freezy, but the next great event was the tree climbing close to Almelo. It was really a nice day, sun was shining, trees was waiting for us and we all had a really nice experience from top of the trees. People had lots of fun, and for those with Veretigo it was no other option staying on the ground. meeting the Netherlands was very nice, the student had a fine time, and the teachers so, and the Canisius school was very nice and the teacher arranging the evnets did their best to keep us in a good mood every day. Greetings to all of U from all of US and then the Erasmsu project close the door for a great time together with the germans, the dutch, the spanish, the polish, the portuguese, the turkish, the czech, the slovakians, the greeks and norwegians.
