Team work and day trip

We had a very busy day yesterday. The morning was taken up by an interesting activity demonstrating the importance of communication, partnership and networking in non formal education.

Then afterwards we were treated to a visit to Mertola and Serpa; two historic Portuguese towns not too far from Beja. We had a guide for each who explained about their interesting past and present.

We ate out in Mertola and the group sang songs from their countries and got everyone else to join in, which was great fun.

I think that it was very important to our hosts that we took the time out of the conference room to go explore and learn more about their culture.

Here is a picture of our guide in Serpa talking about the ancient church doorway in the background:
