We love Svedasai! We love Lithuania!

   
  The story began when four students from I.E.S. Realejos  were chosen to participate in Comenius project. From that moment everything was excitement. We started to feel like explorers, wishing to discover new experiences, but also feeling it was a great responsibility to represent our school and our country.

     But the expedition really started when we arrived in Lithuania on the evening of 1st May. Although willing to find out what would happen, we could not help feeling nervous  at the same time.

     But the adventure surpassed our expectations.What we found there was a treasure: a chest full of  wonders. There were so many new things to learn, so many cultures together to be heard, seen  and tasted and such an amazing willingness to participate, to help and to share that we can do nothing else but be grateful to all the people that made this experience possible. ( teachers and students from the other countries, staff and students  from Svesdasai school, our dear Lithuanian families -who made us feel at home- and our teachers)

      This was a wonderful experience and we have learnt  so much from it, but , above all, we have realized how different cultures can be, but how similar are all of us and how easy is to create bonds among countries and friendship among human beings.

    This beautiful place in  the heart of Europe will always remain in the middle of our heart.
