October was the month when we flew to Sicily to meet our partners. It was a wonderful day because for our students it was the first experience traveling abroad and more importantly, they were going to meet each other face to face for the first time after the pandemic when we had to meet online.
We arrived in Sicily late at night. It was raining but the emotion didn´t let us think about anything else.
The host families were waiting for us with the Italian teachers ( flowers, welcome posters, flags).
Our students went with their host families to start the adventure.
The next day we went to the school and we shared a nice day together. We had T-shirts and bags with the logos. Our students showed some presentations about our countries, cities, and schools and then we played games together in mixed international groups.
In Sicily, we had a great experience because we could live in first person how refugees are living there. We visited some of the centers where they are living, where the government is allowing them to learn the language and study to have a chance in the outer world.
We were able to visit different cities and the Volcano Etna to see our similarities and differences in Art and nature and students really enjoyed being together in teams and being able to do presentations about all these activities.
