The meeting of the Norwegian, German and Estonian partners of the Comenius Project took place in Viljandi on March 11 - March 15. We had very busy days.
Our Norwegian guests arrived in Viljandi on March 11 and on Saturday they spent time with their host families. Our German guests spent the day in Tallinn where they had a guided tour of the town.
On Sunday we went skating and after lunch our guests had a sigtseeing tour of Viljandi. After that we went to the concert in St Paul’s Church where two orchestras, from Viljandi Music School and Lasnamäe Music School, performed. After the concert we went to Olustevere to visit the local observatory. We could watch the stars and the Moon and follow physics experiments, some of which were very amusing.
On Monday we had a long trip to Keila-Joa and Tallinn. At Keila-Joa we visited a small hydropower plant where we were told about the use of alternative energy sources in Estonia. In Tallinn we visited the Tallinn Science Centre of Energy. First we listened to a talk on sustainable energy sources including nuclear power. Then evrybody could look round in the centre and make experiments on their own. The most popular attractions were those of sound and soap bubbles.
On Tuesday everybody was at school. Our guests could visit the lessons together with their hosts. The teachers had a meeting where they discussed how to continue the Comenius project. Then students’ presentations and the performance of the science theatre followed. After lunch students tested different samples of water to find out how clean the water sample was.
Our guests left on Wednesday morning. We all met new friends and now everybody is looking forward to the next meeting in Norway in May.
