National Evening - 4th Day (2nd Part)

No doubt, the National Evening is the long awaited event of the week.
Why is it so?
Every country has been preparing something special for the evening. Our hosts offer a buffet to recover from so much activity during the day and week. Music, dances, food, prizes, friendship... enlighten the evening. There are no more countries, only European friends living in different cities - Getxo, Bergen, Herouville Saint Clair, Garbsen.
Just look at the pictures and see.

They have been researching on historical and cultural backgrounds  of the EU from World War II to nowadays by decades.
Finally, they have also refreshed the Comenius Corner, prepared some questions for the quizz on European history and rehearsed the song to be sung altogether in the Multilateral Meeting in Garbsen: "Welcome home, to Europe", which we expect to sing altogether with the other participating countries.
