The fifth meeting in Turkey

           In 2014 from the 1th to the 8th of  June five representatives: two teachers Odeta Šerelienė and Meilutė Rusinienė, three pupils from Alytus Likiškėliai basic school went to the fifth meeting in Turkey, Niksar town. We got acquainted with Project partners, school‘s leader and teachers at the dinner party in the evening. On Tuesday we visited Comprehensive school “Ihsan Karatay Ortaokulu Mudurlugu“ where pupils met guests dancing traditional dances. Later we were invited to look around the school which was decorated with posters about each country and taste national dishes. After lunch we participated in the CLIL lesson which was about hydrosphere and the water circle of the earth.  On Wednesday we had a possibility to meet the mayor of Niksar and to hike to the Niksar castle. The next day we visited the cave „Ballica“ It has two layers above the entrance and five layers below the entrance is a seven - layered beautiful cave. There are small ponds, drippings, dry natural pools and small polls in every layer. The amount of mud and wet clay is high although there is no water flow at each layer floor. This fact makes climbing and descending difficult. The respiration is interestingly easy inside the cave. The last day we went to the hydroelectric powerplant. The pupils were very intrested in the ways how the electricity is produced. Later we left for watersource „SISMA“. Mineral Water is being produced and bottled by SISMA Turkey just nearby the natural spring. The natural spring resides 27km away from nearest residential areas within mountains which alone guarantees the naturality and purity of the spring.

            We came back full of impressions. We found new friends, learned new things. We are looking forward for the sixth meeting in Greece.
