EXCHANGE IES ROU-VIGO AND GINER DE LOS RÍOS-LISBON

We are back from a great week in LISBON. The  exchange was a huge success!!! Students and teachers have had a really interesting time visiting the city, guided by amazing teachers who took  our students through different times in  the history of the city and the country. Among the most outstanding visits: St. George's  castle, Palaces: Ajuda and Queluz, Jerónimos Monastery, Belem Tower,  Maritime Museum.

Statue of D. Henrique, promoter of the Age of Discovery

This year the school project at GINER DE LOS RÍOS is about the Circumnavigation so we focused and learnt about those first expeditions in  the Maritime Museum, we saw the impressive buildings mentioned above and some of them built thanks to the wealth involved in the discovery of the new world. 

.

                                                        
We were also taught about the devastating earthquake (1755) and the reconstruction of the modern city we know today. 



The students were gladly surprised by the warm welcome of the families.

It has been an amazing experience which will continue in a months’ time  in Vigo where the Portuguese students will be hosted by families and IES ROU.

We can’t wait to have them here!!!

Thanks to the organisers and the families who did their best to make things work. And they DID WORK!!!

A link will be shortly shared where you will find a bunch of photos from my camera.
