The document describes a Comenius project involving schools from Spain, Poland, Turkey, Bulgaria and Portugal. Students and teachers visited Spain in February 2014 for a working meeting. The Spanish school organized activities to welcome the visitors, including decorating the school, making welcome banners and t-shirts. The visitors shadowed Spanish students in classes and experienced Spanish culture through trips to Seville, Cádiz, Jerez and Sanlúcar. The students developed strong bonds and were sad to say goodbye at the end of the visit.

"Hristo Botev" Primary school is situated in the village of Mokren .It is a small
mountainous village in the district of Sliven, in Bulgaria .The children attending the
school are mostly of Roma ethnicity. Great number of them come from poor families.
In some families grandparents take care for the children because parents work and live
abroad .This fact causes some difficulties to the school process. We have children with
special needs in the school. They are integrated in the regular school program.
Roma students have a lot of absences from school and they need to be highly motivated
and included in various forms of school life and extra class activities.

countries stayed at our homes and we went with them at all the trips
and the activities.
On Friday 22nd we met them in our school because they were there,
and we went to our homes.
The next day we visited Seville. We saw The Alcázar, we ate in a
typical restaurant and in the afternoon we went to the Spain Square
because we was very tired. They were very surprised with the orange
trees: in their towns they haven't because of the cold weather.
The Sunday we visited Cádiz. We had breakfast there, then we went
for a long walk around the town, had lunch and listened to some
Chirigotas carnival groups). Later we went to the beach and the
Polish mates and teachers had a bath in the beach. We took a lot of
photos too.
On Monday we went to the school together because our school
prepared a welcome for the different countries. We went to the
town hall to meet our Mayor. Later We did a presentation of our
country for them in the Youth Club. In the afternoon we went to
Jerez and went shopping.
On Tuesday we went to school and we celebrated The day of
Andalusia. We acted a play and other things. We had a typical
Andalusian breakfast and later we went to our classroom. At 4
o'clock we went to visited Sanlúcar. We visited a museum, we went
shopping and we had dinner there.
The next day Polish students stayed in our classes and at 1 o'clock
we said them goodbye. In these 30 minutes we only cried and
kissed, hugged each other.
In these time we shared smiles, laughs and a part of our life and
these are very important for us. We learn a lot of things about their
