Today is the day when we have a feedback session and summarise mobility activities. We work on the report of the whole week and prepare ourselves for the next mobility. Before we say good bye, we participate in a field trip to Lecce, which is a great experience. We realize that we haven't even noticed how quickly the time passed by while learning, understanding, experimenting...

 Today we had lots of activities connected with olives. We watched presentations prepared by Italian students. They were about the history of olive oil, its chemical composition and its impact on our diet and health. 

We also visited the olive oil firm. After lunch we had a trip to hypogeum oil mill in Gallipoli.

And in the evening we celebrated Europe Day, which was hosted by the City Mayor.

 After breakfast we went Monastery to observe medicinal herbs. We could see all the herbs of the area. Then, we had a trekking tour from Roca to Torre Dell'Orso. We could sunbathe and admire beautiful landscapes. Trekking by the sea shore gave us lots of energy.  After lunch, we went on a sightseeing trip to Otranto.

 Today we had ALOE VERA workshop together with the video. We also visited Naturalis, the Laboratory of Natura and Benessere. We could observe how aloe is cultivated and later, in the laboratory, see how it is transformed into bio products. In the afternoon we went to the City Council and met the Mayor who told us about his beautiful city.

Today is the last day of the project in Geel.

Today we dealt less with science and more with culture and history. We visited a beautiful old city of Antwerp. It was a great and memorable experience. We explored the city and its landmarks participating in a city game organized by our Belgian hosts. We walked down the quirky streets, admired old churches and looked at ancient buildings. Later, we went to the brewery ''de Koninck'' where we observed the process of producing beer and watched some films and exhibitions connected with beer industry.

The last evening of this great mobility we spent on summing up the project activities with the school community: parents, teachers and students. We danced, played games and talked. We got the certificates and had to say good bye. The next day all of us would go back to our countries. But we knew we would never forget these days spent on work and fun.

Today was the day of hard work.

We were divided into 2 groups doing different activities. The first group worked in the laboratory on synthesis and analysis of acetyl salycilic acid. They produced aspirin as well. The other group worked in a Fab Lab where they designed models of different chemical substances in a special computer programme. Then, they printed them in .... wood!!! That was really amazing because the models were printed in 3D!

After lunch the group changed. This way everybody worked both doing experiments and producing models of chemical substances. The day was really intense!
