BELGIUM 12.January – 18.January

Monday 13.January (Norway)

We woke up at our host family, and then we went to school. At school we got information about Erasmus+. Then we went on a guided tour in Sint-Niklaas and saw the town hall where we met the major. When we got back to the school every country had a presentation about their school system. After the presentation every country had a mini market with food and pictures of their place. The mini market was fun and we got to know every country better. 

Tuesday 14 January (Slovenia)

On Tuesday, we visited the Ghent, where two Belgian teachers presented to us the  city and the street art that is very recognizable in Ghent. We used the phone app to  explore  the city and saw the sights and tourists attractions. In the afternoon we took the train back to Sint-Niklaas were we meet up with our hosts.  

Thursday 16 January (Italy)

On Thursday, all of us went to Brussels. It’s the capital of Belgium, and it’s a beautiful city! We saw the Queen’s Gallery and Grand Place, an enormous plaza. After lunch, we walked to the European Parliament and listened to a presentation. We loved Brussels and its beauty, and the Parliament was really interesting too. Unfortunately the MEPs were in Strasbourg so it was quite empty, but our guide was brilliant. Most of us found interesting the buildings and the large streets, which are very different from the ones we have here. In the evening we stayed home with our friends. It was a very interesting day. 

Friday 17th (Spain)

At morning, we stayed at school, and we did activities with the computers and games, (escape room, questions about a Belgian comic and different ways to do projects in ours school), we felt very good because we had a great time and we learned new things. Also we had the Erasmus certificates delivery.

After that we went to Antwerp by train, and we visited the city with our group with two different guides, we went to the most important landmarks and the city center. We had some free time to buy some souvenirs and ate there. We passed a very greatful moment with ours teachers, friends and the other students.

After the free time, we went back to Sint Niklaas at six o’clock. When we arrived there, we had free time for an hour. At seven we should be at school because there was a party for all the exchange people. We had around four hours of party and there we danced typical dances of each country. Also, we had dinner there and we had fun!
