During the second day we went to visit Split, a city in the coast, where a guide tour explained the influence of the Roman Empire, how the palace was built and the purpose of it.  After that, there was a treasure hunt; to do the activity, we were divided in international groups. Once we finished the activity, we were able to explore the city and continue learning about it.

This day was a very busy day. In the morning, we participated in workshops where we filmed a video about environmental issues. Afterwards, we visited a center for people with special needs, where they showed us their garden and explained how they take care of it and all the workshops students do at school everyday. We interacted with them, chatted, and played for a while. Later, we went to Mostar, where we spent the rest of the day. We had lunch there and strolled through its streets, looking at the shops and small stalls. It was a very beautiful, interesting, and enriching experience for everyone. Being able to learn about the history, the past and the traditions of Boznia Herzegovina has been really interesting.

The day started with two workshops. In the first, we worked in international groups created by one Spanish, one Italian, and two Croatian students,  we had to find news headlines and classify them according to different European values. In the second workshop, we explored the city of Metković in a kind of treasure hunt: we had to find certain places, take photos, and learn Croatian words related to them. Afterwards, everyone went home for lunch. In the afternoon, we met up for a while to chat, and later that evening, we all went out for dinner together. A perfect day!
