Good evening ladies and gentleman, welcome.
-Boa tarde.
-Kalispera.
-Buna seara.
-Labdien.
-Hyvää iltaa.
At first, we have to thank the portuguese for their hospitality and letting us into their lives to see the culture from inside. Of course we would like to express our gratitude to the EU for financing our project. Also, thank you to the other countries and their students for taking part in the project. Last but definitely not least, we would like to show appreciation to the awesome Despina Papadaki for guiding us through the debate.
At first it all seemed a lot overwhelming, not knowing anyone around, but that’s where the ice breaking games came to the rescue. The coffee break was a great bonding time over a cup of Azorean tea. The presentations each country prepared went smoothly and helped us understand better the importance of Blue Growth. The lecture given by the university professor Fernando Rosa Rodrigues Lopes contributed to our general knowledge and helped us at the simulation. In order to raise awareness, the trip to Vila Franca, where we collected trash from the beach, was a success. But after such hard work, the portuguese people were kind enough to take us to one of their local restaurants and after that to the relaxing hot springs.
On Wednesday, we started the day with the Simulation Rehearsal. We met Madame Despina, and she helped us during the day. But after lunch, we went whale watching and watched some dolphins. They were very cute, and followed us for most of the trip. We ended the day with interviews. On Thursday, the simulation happened and we had an International Coffee Break. Everyone Brought some treats from their country. They were super tasty. Today, we worked in groups and enjoyed our last moments together. And here we are.
The simulation was a good experience for all of us, including the teachers. We discussed the Blue Growth because it is an important matter for our economic growth. We made up our mind on the final document and finished our job as the European Commission. Through this experience we overcame cultural differences and united we shared moments of long lasting friendship and peaceful coexistence.
Interview
