discussed were:

of their national agencies asked about this subject.
• doll's clothing - Turkey will now take it to Latvia and the children will decide which
garment should be given to it.

At 5 p.m., we had a short break to prepare ourselves for Dinner in the Hotel (7
p.m.)
Thursday, 13th
November
The group was picked up at 9 a.m. by a
lovely, small bus that seemed to be made
especially for the 18 of us. We drove towards the
city and got to see the nice coast towns along the
way in daylight.
We had really good times together by
doing shopping, wandering around city and
learnt a lot of interesting knowledge about
the places which we visited. We bought
some presents from Turkey to give our
friends when we returned our hometown. İsmail showed us the most important places
and then we had some 40 minutes to walk
around on our own before we started our
journey back to Hotel at 3.30 p.m.
We arrived at the hotel at 5.15 p.m. and
started our workshop shortly after. During the
workshop, we first discussed the program for
the coming days and that
it is difficult to make changes according to the
wishes of all participants. We agreed to follow the program as much as possible, to avoid
extra costs and a lot of extra work for the host
countries. We also talked about the definition of
a fairy tale, which can differ between countries.
The third detail we discussed was how to
compose and use the fairy tale questionnaire to
children and parents/grandparents. The results
of the questionnaire should be used as a base
for the coming work in our respective
countries. We do not have to report the
results. One of our partners will mail us the list
and each country will then choose five
questions for the children and five questions
for the parents/grandparents.

This last day before our departure from Turkey
After breakfast together at hotel, we had a final workshop in the school. At that time we
decided on the final version of the questionnaire (questions for children and questions for
parents/grandparents), talked about the meeting in Portugal, different questions /answers,
etc.
Finally, in a festive ceremony, we received our certificates of attendance and we enjoyed
taking photos with the doll. Later, we said, “goodbye” to each-other at the dinner, dreaming
of the next meeting when we will all be together again for the Erasmus+ project.
