Tuesday 17th April

Today we started our day in the groups with one student from each country, continuing the work on leaflets and brochures about CITIES’ impact in the different schools. The groups got to know each other better and became better friends. In the breaks we enjoy snacks in the beautiful sunny schoolyard. The students from IES Algarb were very welcoming and talkative. Each group has got tasks to work on throughout the week. Some are making brochures, others make leaflets and one group is working on an article that will be published in a local newspaper. The aim is to describe and reflect on the outcomes of the CITIES project. In the process of making the brochures, the students work on integrating the techniques and principles they learnt from the graphic designer that gave them the introduction yesterday. Each student is responsible for giving information on their home country's project week, nevertheless the final product should be one joint product. 

Later in the day we went to Ses Salines National Park at the southernmost part of the island. The view is spectactular with crystal clear water and beautiful white beaches. We enjoyed a walk by the sea and some of us got a bit sunburnt… 

The evenings we spend with our very welcoming families.
