The document describes a student's trip to Matera, Italy for a Comenius project. Over the course of the week-long trip, the student traveled from Spain to Rome, Bari, and Matera, where they met students and teachers from other European countries. Activities included visiting historic sites in Matera, participating in a treasure hunt, rehearsing a theater performance, and attending museums. The student enjoyed getting to know their Italian partner and making international friends, but was sad to say goodbye at the end of the enriching experience.

2. • Sunday morning we took
the bus at 7.00 pm.
• We travelled to Barajas
airport. At 11.30 we took
the first plane, it was a
great travel, we had time
to speak, listen to music,
and even sleep. After two
hours and a half, we
arrived in Rome!

3. • In Rome, we went for
a walk, and we met
our Dutch partners! It
was great to know
each other, and meet
Erik again, their
teacher, who we met
in Turkey.
• All together, it was
time to take the other
plane, the one from
Rome to Bari. It didn´t
take us long time, less
than an hour.

4. When we arrived in Bari, we went by bus to
Matera, there we finally met our Italian
partners.
My partner is called Martina, after introducing
ourselves, we went for a walk to Sassi, the old
part of Matera. It was really nice to see the
city at night

5. MONDAY 17thMONDAY 17th
We went to the high
school, called Liceo
Classico Duni. There, we
met the Polish, French,
Greek, Dutch and
Romanian friends and
the rest of Italian
partners. It was time to
present our logos, all of
them were very original,
but one had to be the
winner… Italy!

6. It was time to eat! We ate all together in a
restaurant, when we finished we were ready
to go to the next activity, a Treasure Hunt in
Sassi. During the walk along the city, we saw
different churches, caves,
casa Grotta, and lots of
amazing views.

7. It was a really nice activity, we visited the old
part of the city, and we worked with maths!
Here we are working on it!

8. TUESDAY 18thTUESDAY 18th
On Tuesday, we visited the Ionian coast,
based on the place where Phytagoras lived.
We don´t know if he is buried there or not, it
will be always a mistery to know…

9. Ather that, we visited the Archeological
National Museum of Metaponto. In the
evening, it was time to rehearse our sketches.
Both of us Romanianss and Spanish agreed on
everything, we were ready for the final
theatre play.

10. WEDNESDAY 19thWEDNESDAY 19th

11. There, we learnt about the brain, the different
functions it has and its system. We did some
interactive activities like the one of visual
effects.
Working on the activities

12. After the museum, we went to see a
performance. Its tittle was Frankestein, and it
was really funny and interesting
We were very hungry, so we went to have
lunch, we had a big pizza, but although I was
too hungry, I coudn´t finish it

13. We had a walk in Napoles, it is a really nice
city, but I had already visited it so it is not the
same as if you go for the first time.

14. THRUSDAY 18thTHRUSDAY 18th

15. In the evening, we went to the Liceo. It was time to
show everyone that we can also do theatre, or
something similar ;)
To say good bye to this great experience, we had a big
buffet with all kinds of cakes, sweets… They were
delicious! And after this, a party.

16. We took our last photos together, and then…
It was time to say good bye to everbody, a
new experience had finished. But.. We had to
leave, very sad because of the great friends
we had made and because of this fantastic
trip to Matera.
DEPARTUREDEPARTURE

17. I really enjoyed it, I think it was very well
organised, but quite sad, because then… we
had to come back to Avila.

18. In the airport, we had something to eat, and
we took off again. In our stop in Rome, we
remembered all the fantastic things we had
learnt during the week. I will never forget the
Comenius project, it is going to be something
to remember.
