Our third meeting took place in Turkey, Izmir from 3rd till 7th of June. All activities of the meeting was planed and organized by Turkish partner, Menderes Adult Education Centre. Project partners from Italy - Association Progresso per L’Europa (2 participants), Poland - The Culture Centre of Konstantynów Łódzki (7 participants), Latvia – Valmiera Culture Centre (9 participants) took a part in all organized activities.
At first participants had the meeting with the Mayor of Menderes (district of the city Izmir) and the visit to the partner organization – Menderes Adult Education Centre. During those activities partners learn about the history of the Menderes and Izmir, traditions, habits, symbols and general information. Partners also went to the Centre of handicrafts production made by the learners of Menderes Adult Education Centre. After that, learners attended a folk festival which was organized by the Turkish partners – on the occasion of the summer solstice. In this festival learners could enjoy the traditional dances and songs, theatrical performances.
Later in those meeting days partners had the opportunity to visit the Epsesus and learn about this beautiful archaeological place and history that was connected with the solstices and equinoxes. As this history is similar and close to the Greek, participants went to the beach from where was possible to see Greece.
Meetings for project coordinators were organized in the first and last day when partners evaluate all that have been done till now and what to do to make the project even better, agreed on task deadlines and dates for the next activities, spoke about responsibilities of each partner and discussed about the middle reports and deadlines.
We all want to say great Thank You – to all the partners, organizers, participants and involved persons!
