Our first day at Szent Lásló Gimnázium in Hungary.

Bilateral Meeting Diary 2

Monday, November 18^th, by Iñigo and Miryam

We arrived at Szent Lásló Gimnázium to meet up with everybody in the main hall. Then, our Hungarian partners handed  us out a school quiz and we had to go around the school to find the answers, It was very funny. 

Afterwards we watched a video about Budapest recorded by previous Comenius students. Then, 

we went to the Chemistry Laboratory to see some experiments. They were fantastic! 

After that, some people were to an English class and the other group to the Spanish class, where they talked about how we celebrate Christmas in both countries and about Bilbao, Algorta and the Basque Country.

Finally we went to the canteen and tasted goulash for the first time.

On the second day of our students exchange program we headed to our school to show our guests what our school is like. We had all sorts of activities in the morning but in the afternoon we had to get some work done:  At 12:30 everyone went to the school cafeteria and had lunch together. We ate goulash, which is Hungary’s most well-known dish all over the world.

When we finished our meal at about 13:00 we headed back to the main hall, where we started working on our projects. Our goal was studying both countries’ National Landmarks together finding differences and similarities.

Even though we had some difficulties during the workshop we successfully managed to overcome them and reach our aim. The group work wasn’t only sharing all the information but also about team work. I mean, it was a great opportunity for people to know each other.

After two and a half hours of hard work we finally had our National Evening. We introduced our folk dance, which was a great experience for everyone. After the show we had dinner in the main hall prepared by parents.

Activities followed our dinner such as card games and dancing games and songs. Our program ended at around eight o’clock and we went home with memories we won’t forget.
