On our first day we met at 9 a.m. via video conference on Google Meet. We were welcomed by the Italian teachers and the school management.
After watching videos about Gallarate and the hosting school we took two quizzes about Gallarate and the school.
Gallarate has a lot of beautiful churches, which were part of the quiz. It's so sad that we can't visit the school and the city. The school has a lot of interesting departments and we would've loved to have a guided school tour.
Finally we watched a video about the Spanish Kart and the progress they made.
