On the last evening the Italian group presented a wonderful movie reflection on the lessons they took away with them from the camp. They started the work in the video editing workshop and spent all Friday afternoon completing while the other groups swam, enjoyed the sun and completed the treasure hunt:

The Italian class had a great performance between a video presentation, a song and three dances. Linking their performance to the 2008 Year of Intercultural Dialogue, the students also gave an inside look into their new eTwinning project in 2008 called "Penser l'Autre".

After the presentation, the dance number then began with one student doing ballet (see the great jump on the right!) followed by two students dancing hip hop. All three then danced together, mixing both styles to give the overall sense of the beauty of mixing different styles and cultures together.

The entire Italian group then finished together in song.

Have a look at the short VIDEO CLIP we have so far of the ballet number. There are more to come!

Congratulations on a job well done and good luck with your new project!

Pupils from Galicia, Spain, started off their talent slot with a lovely traditional song from their region which they sang with the help of cymbals and clapping from the crowd. The song reminded some of us of traditional indigenous songs. It was really nice!

Following their song, everyone turned to the back of the room to watch them perform a lively dance routine. All dressed up like skeletons, the song and dance together gave us a nice overview of Galician culture.

As the closing ceremony of the eTwinning Camp 2008, everyone gathered together to give special awards and to enjoy the final "Talent Show". Each school prepared their performance in advance and so it was a real treat to experience singing and dancing from across Europe.

In the photo on the right, pupils from Berlin, Germany, performed an amazing Egyptian dance that they learned from their class assistant, Dina. The performance was absolutely breathtaking and the costumes were gorgeous!

You are all stars!

Our guides took us to a lovely neighborhood where as from the beginning of May, students celebrate the end of the academic year. Singing, dancing and various performances are taking place every day but we where lucky enough to be greeted by this wonderful song performed by a group of students. We have no idea what they're actually studying but if they ever decide to go for a singing career, we'll be there to cheer for them :)

The Spanish-Polish team was the first to find the big treasure and as you can see (on the left) they're so happy and proud of themselves!

The German team got pretty close to the treasure so they got the second prize while the Swedish-Belgian team got the third prize.

All teams did a great job and worked wonderfully together! Well done guys!

Not only did they have a great time, they created some AMAZING and FUN podcasts in English and Spanish. Have a listen - they are GREAT!

Spaniards: The CSS think that you all have a future in broadcasting!

Without further ado - the SPANISH PODCASTS:

	1. We lost our luggage!
	2. How's the hotel?
	3. Making friends...
	4. Our visit to the Oceanario
	5. A little about our eTwinning project

Some of the guys from Italy show us what it means to get dolled up for an Italian disco....

while the Italian girls give us a great group pose.

After a full day in Lisbon, we headed back to Vimeiro and - after another great dinner at the hotel - kicked off the camp disco with a full dance floor.

In the picture on the left, students formed a circled while two students from Poland showed everyone how it's done.

The main tank at the Oceanario contains approximately 5000 litres of water, that's how huge it is. With such a big tank it was great to be able to get right up to the glass and have a close look at some of the big fish in it.

On the right, German pupils get to see a real shark close up. Pretty cool! As most of the fish are used to divers going into the tank, they were very happy to come right up to the window and see the kids.

In that sense, who's looking at who?!

After meeting Mr. Sun Fish, we headed onto the penguin area where we got to see at least 10 penguins hanging out.

As our guide explained, penguins keep the same partner for their entire lives which we thought was pretty amazing. He also explained that at one point, there was one penguin without a partner, and it really seemed to cause trouble with the whole group. Thankfully, they found it a new partner for it not long after.

A real society!
