A sunny and warm arrival in Roodt-Syre. The Belgian delegation flies right in with a visit to Maison Relais' charming "Bèschcrèche". This crèche is designed to bring children, aged 2 to 4, closer to nature and to ensure that children have more physical activity outdoors, as they will spend part of the morning and afternoon in nature.

Kevin Simoes Loureiro, a researcher from the University of Luxembourg, unveils his study on the implementation of the plurilingual education policy within the Luxembourgish early childhood education and care sector.  The more we learn about Luxembourg's trilingual system, the more questions come to mind. The plenary discussion afterwards is therefore interesting.

Anke demonstrates her talent as a yoga teacher and gives us a virtuous yoga session under a radiant sun to start this final day. Then, using an object we found in nature, we each tell what the past few days have done to us. The answers were often gripping, everyone agreeing that we had a very good meeting.
