How everything started - Domont, Paris

In September 2008 we finally met at Domont, Paris. Six countries; six languages; twelve teachers but all from the same continent: Europe. That was a preparatory visit in order to define the theme of the Project; the coordinator country; the activities and people involved; the meetings; but above all it was our first contact with each other after thousands of mails of questions, thoughts, ideas and desires.


We spent a fantastic week there. We worked a lot but we also amused ourselves in a city which is considered one of the most beautiful ones of the entire world.


Everything was settled: Portugal would be the coordinator country so it would be responsible for the development of the Project (big responsability!) and the theme was chosen “New clans: group and individuality”. So we only had to wait for the answers of our national agencies. We didn’t want anyone to get out of the Project so I think that everyone “prayed” a lot. The answer came in August 2009 – the Project had been approved and everyone was in.
