Until almost  march we  were organizing one international activity called “Global Action Day” about the realization of  six different workshops for the students of Virrat´s Highschool  with  other  EVS ( European Voluntary Service) whose  came from different  European countries , in this case:  England, Lienchestestein, Germany , Slovakia  and  us, both from Spain. The chosen day was Friday 10th, May. Previously  of this day, We had 3 meetings in the Virrat’s highschool, were the students explained us their points of view and suggestions  to  improve our own ideas.
In each one of this workshop , we  had the chance to show  the students our culture and customs , they chose three workshops  between the possible options.
Finally everything happened as planned, and We are plenty satisfied  with the results.
The develop of  this activity could be possible with the collaboration of  the  Virrat´s students and 4 Evs  whose came from  Villa Elba´s  youth center.For us was a pleasure to welcome everybody  in our workplace.
