Hello TRAINs partners!



People in Portugal are complaining about the cold weather!

Can you believe it?

That can only happen because they didn’t have the experience of our students Ana, Marcia, Raja and Carlos that participated bravely in the projet meeting held in Leszno, Poland, with temperatures around -20ºC.

Our four students joined the Poles, Scots, Italians, Belgians and Spaniards to live a unique experience. 

 Even though it was difficult to take the gloves off, students were able to perform their work photographing various points of interest related to trains and railways. In addition, they also realized the important role of trains either currently or in crucial moments of European history.

It was certainly a wonderful experience that will be saved in our memories.

We thank everyone for their support, especially Gosia that received us and never left us right till the end (it was brave to wake up so early in the morning just to say good bye and to make sure that we would leave safely).

Best regards from the Portuguese team!

Paulo, Maria e Joana
