Travelling Europe for the Intercultural Fair

So day three of the project was here and it was time for getting to know each other's cultures really well and learning what the project stands for.
The day started with outlining the main objectives for the week so that the participants had a better understanding of the structure of the overall seminar. There was also a morning energiser to get people motivated and ready for the rest of the day.
During the day the participants were split up into teams to make jigsaw puzzles, these jigsaws contained the words that Erasmus+ stands for.

After lunch it was time to prepare for this afternoon's Intercultural Fair, which would showcase all the different European countries being represented and give the rest of the participants more knowledge about other countries. The groups split into their country teams and started working hard to make informative posters, flags and maps to make their table stand out.

As part of the fair there was a presentation from each country. Most of them brought their national dances to show off to the group. A lot of them were traditional to the countries and came with interesting stories and heritage.
Everyone joined in and enjoyed learning new dances and having fun being active and bonding with other members.
Those countries who didn't bring dance, brought local customs or traditional clothing.

Each one of the country groups got a chance to visit the other country's tables and see what they had brought.
There was a collection of different food and drink from each country to try. So the participants got the chance to have a cultured stomach and try many different flavours that they perhaps wouldn't have tried before.
For example the delights of English mustard or branston pickle.
Aside from the food and drink this was, of course, a chance to learn more about other cultures and practices and for the participants to show off their countries knowledge and learn about others.
The fair was a great success and it's inspiring to see the amount of countries that are represented and to think about how we can all work together to make this transition a success.
