To conclude the three-year Comenius project 'Bridges', the coordinators, headmasters, teachers and pupils from the partner schools met for one last time at the schools in Lithuania and Estonia. What made this project meeting different from the othes was that it also included pupils from the participating schools. The two pupils from our school, Polona Smrdelj and Eva Ule were chosen on the basis of their active participation in the project throughout the three-year period. They both showed great skill as translators and both have penfriends in these countries. The visit lasted from 2nd to 9th May, 2002. The main events included a welcoming ceremony, presentations of the visiting countries by the visiting teachers and pupils, conferences for project evaluation and reports. By visiting the schools in Druskininkai and Kavandu we can now compare the school system in all of the participating schools.
The pupils had the opportunity to meet each other, exchange ideas about the activities undertaken and suggest ways of pursuing the link that has been made among the schools for the future. They came to the conclusion that the main link is friendship. After three years of working together in the same project, they finally met their Comenius friends face to face.
