Fifth Transnational Meeting

Slovakia land too hot, at least these days out of 5 to 9 July 2015. The group demonstrated all the work he had done since the last meeting. On the 6th morning I presented my findings and my research in the CIEA in Bratislava. It's been a very pleasant experience with the Slovaks to be friendly as well. In Martin City, the final report was developed. Taking the fact that it got a little sick on the 2nd day was a fantastic working visit. I thank´s to all the partners this opportunity to participate in DEA Europe study.

See you one day

Slovakia, the last meeting of DEA project. Unfortunately is the last time we are going be together to talk and to discuss so important subjects. In Portugal we say “everything that is good finish quickly” and we can say the same now. After some meetings in different countries I think and I´m sure I can say that we are friends and we´ll miss this moments. Many thanks to Fergal to invite us to participate in the project and many many thanks to Martin and Ivana for their generosity and sympathy. We are received like prices and they did everything for us to feel comfortable.

Me and all Portuguese team hope we meet again, who knows in another project.

We learned a lot about the historical development of the city and were able to admire selected monuments. On the way to Martin, our 2nd venue was to make a brief stop in Smolenice. Here we learned interesting facts about the production of honey wine that we were also offered for tasting.
