During the visit, a number of meetings, classes and workshops related to mathematics were planned. The classes were prepared not only by the hosts – teachers and students of Primary School No. 29 in Sosnowiec, but also the guests.

This day began with a meeting with the school community in the gym. For this occasion, teachers and students of the host school prepared a short artistic program.

They took part in the 'Whirling paints' art workshop. It was not only fun, but also a bit of learning. The guests remembered what would happen if they mixed paints of different colours and what force pulled everything down and why you could fall from the carousel if you did not hold on to it. In short, they remembered the concepts of gravity and centrifugal force. At the end, the guests created hand-made "masterpieces" using an original device. Delight and surprise among guests was endless.After colorful artistic madness, the guests from schools in Portugal and Italy presented their best practices - games used in their maths classes.At the end of the day, a short 'Coding on the carpet' workshop was held for guests.
