The 4th National meeting in Hungary left us with the greatest impressions.
The very well organised educational programme at school gave us the opportunity to enjoy the students' presentations about the influence of water in the development of their country and get informed about it.
The artistic performances of each country were really amusing.
Our visit to Gellert Thermal Baths, canoeing in Tapolca Cave , Lake Balaton and Tihany Peninsula was also a very exciting experience.
The taste of the Hungarian cuisine and the hospitality of our Hungarian partners left us speechless.
Each educational meeting offers us different experience. We are looking forward to our next meeting in Sicily.

The Budapest Erasmus+ experience was a very special one due to a number of reasons.
The hospitality of the teachers and host parents was amazing and it pleased us all,making both teachers and students feel welcome and comfortable at all times. The programme was very well organised and the time spent at the school as well as the places we visited enhanced the positive ecperience.
The highlights of the programme were the welcome ceremony at the school, the presentations on the development of water in each partner country/city, the cruise on the Danube which was a unique event that gave us the opportunity to admire the remarkable beauty of Budapest on the Danube by day and night, the Cave lake at Tapolca which clearly showed us Hungary's distinctive geomorphology and thermal waters, and finally, the Budapest Castle District tour with the visit to the History of Budapest museum where an excellent local guide used interesting ways to explain how Budapset's development through the ages was always closely linked to the river Danube.

The visit in Budapest as part of the Erasmus+ “Drops of Life” excited all of us in every way.
The educational programme was very well organized with a variety of activities and information about Water. The presentation of “the influence of Water in the development of each country” was very informative and interesting, too.
At the same time the artistic performances of each group were amusing and amazing.
Both teachers and students were very excited when participating in the educational activities and workshops such as “escape room” and “kahoot” on the influence of climate change.
Canoeing in Tapolca cave was also a very exciting experience as well as the visit in Lake Balaton and Tihany Peninsula.
The Danube and the Bridges that connect Buda with Pest enchanted us in the cruise which we had the chance to take part in, after we had been well informed about their history and construction in the History Museum of Budapest.
During the sightseeing we were very well guided by the Hungarian partners. We were amazed by the beautiful sights, the monuments, the local dishes, the hospitality and the courtesy of the Hungarian partners.
Both teachers and students enjoyed the great city of Budapest and its cultural Heritage as well as the culture and the way of life.
In conclusion, it was a really educational visit; a European meeting that made us all feel happy we had experienced it.

What stroke my attention was the hospitality and the friendliness of the Hungarians, whose traditions, though very different from ours, represented an important opportunity of edification. The places we visited were interesting and magnificent. The recurring references of these places to the ancient Roman world constituted an added value.
As for the food, Hungarian traditional dishes are very different from the Italian cuisine.
The target of the project was well developed and of high quality. Thus, the tasks were thorough and complete.
The experience abroad and the activities with the students let me ascertain the essential role played by the English language for communication at any levels. Thus, English proved itself as the lingua franca.
The employment of technological devices was fundamental for the performing and development of didactic and learning activities. Moreover, modern technological devises turned out to be a new way of participation and communication for both students and teachers.

The people I met in Budapest, both teachers and students, were sociable and engaging. Tradition is part and parcel of their culture, especially traditional dances, music and costumes, which are well known even by teenagers.
Foreign students were thought some traditional dances during a dance club and they really enjoyed this activity.
The theme of the project was targeted. All the places we |«sited such as the cave lake at Tapolca, the Lavander House at Tihany Peninsula, near the lake Balaton; Budapest [Castle District; Gellert Thermal Bath and the cruise on the Danube River were related to the theme of the project. |fci particular, the visit at the castle museum was very interesting as it showed how water (the Danube) affected the tory and everyday life of the Hungarians.
As regards food culture, it is different. Hungarians eat lots of paprika (fresh or dry), cheese and cuts. Their traditional dish is ash.
This experience helped the students to become aware of the importance of English as lingua franca. Moreover, this experience is also important opportunity to get acquainted technological tools useful only for didactic aims, but >to exchange information with ale involved in the project.

Water is undoubtedly the necessary element for life. In previous activities, we have worked on the preservation of water as a vital element, how to obtain water in various environmental conditions, how to reduce its consumption, how to avoid its contamination, how to analyze water with different parameters to determine its quality and even how to distribute water at the same time it is used as an ornamental element.
At the Budapest meeting we have first influenced another fundamental aspect of water, such as its influence on culture and the economy. Through presentations, each country has demonstrated how its culture, its economy and its evolution have been closely marked by water as a means of communication. Through the seas and rivers the culture expanded. Written language was taken to distant places by merchant vessels that established colonies where they taught and learned from each other. Written language gave rise to the accumulation of knowledge that was no longer limited to simple oral transmission, which meant an unprecedented advance in the evolution of humanity. Also an important aspect of written language was establishing commercial contracts to ensure compliance. And since we have talked about economics, maritime and river commerce was also key in the evolution of humanity.
Each town could sell its surpluses and obtain products from distant lands in return. Olive, wine and cereal cultivation spread throughout the Mediterranean. It is not surprising, therefore, that thanks to water and the development of navigation, humanity will evolve in two thousand years much more than it had in the previous four thousand years. Sometimes water, in addition to joining can separate.
There are many cases in which a river or a lake acts as a natural border, but what separates can also be joined and for that we have the bridges. And on bridges an interesting activity took place in Budapest. The students had the opportunity to learn about different technologies about the construction of bridges and in this way to understand that what is separated can also be joined with a little intelligence and effort.

I had been to Budapest before, but taking part in this project has allowed me to seethe city from another point of view. It has made me see the city from the point of view of a person who lives, studies and works there; I think it is a much more enriching experience. I have shared incredible experiences with teachers and students from other countries. We have visited museums, touristic places and most important, we have worked on the development of the project we are carrying out: Drops of Life What is the most important result of this LTTA? For me, the students' opinion. My students have lived a unique experience, for some of them, "the best experience of their lives". At the end of a LTTA it is necessary to analyze the results obtained and sometimes we forget the feelings experienced, those which willstayintheirmindsand hearts for long. M Dolores Vazquez
Soing back to Budapest!!, is the third time I come to this wonderful city full of history and amazing places, and in which every time I visit it I discover new corners that make this city increasingly attractive to me. The first mpression in this meeting was of cordiality among all the participants, whether they were students or teachers, mainly because it is our fourth meeting and human relations are really good.
The meeting has been positive in all aspects, the reception by the Hungarian teachers and students was very welcoming, the host families were .vonderful and at all times facilitated that our students were at ease, and the activities developed were very nteresting and according to the content of the program, relating them to water.
The project follow-up meetings -ave been carried out in a work environment, but at the same time relaxed, addressing the different issues that have arisen since the last meeting and reaching an agreement in all of them thanks to the collaboration and understanding of the participants.
The agreements established and their results will be analyzed in our next meeting that will take place in Italy (Pachino - Sicily) The activities carried out have been adequate to the cevelopment of the project, and the students and professors have collaborated and have felt involved in all of :nem, achieving the integration of all countries.
The presentations made by each partner, relating the history of different countries with the central theme of the project, water, have been very worked with very good results. Finally, high light the communication between students and teachers from different countries, which have allowed me rough a cordial environment, achieve the objectives proposed prior to this meeting. I am sure that in the next meetings we will reach all the pre-established objectives in the project.
