5. Speculum-an on-line magazine for transversal policies The Post Event Report Now that we have arrived safe and sound in our respective homes I have some time to write a few words of gratitude towards our magnificent host: the most INCREDIBLE PAUL. I think I am not exagerating to say that the program was a professional balance between work, leisure, education and fun. Each day there was a program full of unexpected events and a great variety of activities and people hosted over different places, sometimes far apart. Really a marvel of organisation! Paul, you really deserve our greatest respect for organising all this! From now on you certainly deserve the nick name "Paolo incredibilo" for ever!

12. In Eeklo we had lots of CULTURE like the performances organised for us while touring the city. Before this project started I never had heard of a place called "Eeklo" but now I know better:that cosy small town with its amazing Sint Vicentius on the place of a former monastery, its fine chapel part with singing teachers, the flourishing cultural life, sport facilities and a night life for the young (and wild).

26. But what would a visit to Brussels and to Belgium be without tasting the delicious and famous chocalates? Or drinking one of the many special beers, such as here in this most famous Gent cafe “De Dulle Griet” where a 250 different types of beer can be served The Post Event Report

27. The last excursion : Bruges The Post Event Report

28. And then it comes the time to say good-bye I don't know how that is with you but I found the meeting very rewarding in different respects. Not only did we and our students experience many different cultural events but also in the sphere of personal experiences and interactions with other people we all learned a great deal again. May be it sounds a bit silly to speak of "personal growth" but I certainly see it that way. Although I cannot judge for you it certainly apllies for me.

29. And here, the final meal….. which was concluded with a wonderful “thank you, thank you, thank you….” and a singing and dancing together the flower you gave us with the "farewell message" remind us of the friendship of Eeklo.

30. after which we all felt One big European Family…. WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF IT ALL…. And so, many “Thank You’s “ to the Belgian Team and their coordinator “Paolo Incredibilo” See you in PALERMO! The Post Event Report
