A warm welcome from the Portugal team, at Lisbon airport, as well as at the school by the Deputy Mayor of the city and the Principal of the school. They welcomed us with their school anthem.

1st Day: On the first day, after visiting school facilities, we played the "Pandemic" game to get to know each other better and "break the ice" between us.

2nd Day: Presentation of didactic games by the students which will be made with the 3d printer of each school. After this, the teams offered their gifts to the school's Principal.

Workshop: Art of Azoulezu

The same day, after presentations, we had a Workshop for students and teachers where the Art teacher of the school taught us the art of "Azulezu" on a tile. The work was perfected by firing the tiles in a suitable oven provided by the school. Azulejos are paintings on glazed ceramic tiles, used to cover and decorate walls and facades or ceilings and floors of houses, churches, mansions, and palaces. The name is of Arabic origin from the word al - zulayj, meaning "polished stone".

At the school in Lisbon, students, and teachers were taught Bombo percussion divided into two groups, and all together we gave our performance in the schoolyard.
