PORTUGAL, Esposende
23-27/3/2026

At 11:00 a.m., we visited the Maritime Museum, where we learned about the local history and the importance of the sea for the region.

After lunch at the school canteen, at 2:00 p.m., students from all participating countries gave presentations they had prepared for the Erasmus programme. 

Today we had the opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Porto and explore it up close. We began our day with a walk around the Aliados area, where we admired the impressive buildings and the city’s unique architecture.

Additionally, we explored projects created by students using Arduino and sensors, which were particularly interesting.

On Thursday, we went on a trip to the beautiful city of Viana do Castelo. Our first stop was the Navio Hospital Gil Eanes, a former hospital ship that used to provide medical care to fishermen working in the cod fishing fleet. During the visit, we explored the different areas of the ship, including operating rooms, patient wards and crew spaces, gaining a deeper understanding of the difficult conditions faced by fishermen in the past and the importance of this floating hospital.

On Friday, our last day in Portugal, we experienced many beautiful and memorable moments. We woke up relatively late and had breakfast around 10:30 before heading to school. There, we watched videos and saw photos from the entire week, taken by teachers and photographers, reliving all the experiences we had shared.

After that, we received our Erasmus participation certificates, which reminded us of everything we had learned and experienced during the week.
