On Friday afternoon, people from Germany, Turkey, Spain, Ireland, England and Pärnu arrived in front of our schoolhouse.
The majority of students and teachers had assembled outside of the school to welcome the guests. When everyone was back inside, we gathered in the assembly hall where the English teacher explained what was going to happen. After that younger folk dancers entertained the audience. The Headmaster gave his speech, our English teacher forwarded his text in English. Then Märt Riisenberg, a representative of Kehtna local governemnt also gave his welcoming speech. After that, a tour in the schoolhouse was held. After the school introduction we had lunch in the canteen. After the lunch we gathered in the media classroom, where every country showed its film, in which they introduced their homeland. Turkey had 3 films. After the film presentation we went back into to the assembly hall, where 4-member teams were formed and teams had a quiz about the watched films. Then each of the teams had to draw a poster related to the title of the project - "Life in Harmony with Nature". In the evening students went to their host families and teachers went to "Krantsi Kõrts" for dinner.
