The students and the teachers form the partner schools met the Romanian Erasmus team, both teachers and students. They were welcome by two of our students, Sabrina Aniculăsei and Ştefan Vamanu, with “pâine şi sare” (bread and salt), a local custom of welcoming the guests. Then, the Romanian host students were guides for the students from Spain, Italy, Poland and Macedonia and presented the school to them. The opening ceremony took place in the Physics Laboratory, starting with an ice-breaking game. The students from all the partner countries had to write on the board words beginning with the acronym ESCEI (“European Scholar Congress on Environmental Issues”).

After that, Mrs. Roxana Pătrăuceanu, the headmistress of the school, introduced the program of the mobility and the activities of the day. Guided by specialists, the students found out about light pollution, the sources and the effects on both human beings and the environment. Throughout an interactive presentation, delivered by Miss Naiana Ciuştea, the students had to think of light pollution, to give examples and to find solutions to limit this type of pollution. After that, guided by a specialist and using lux meters and phone applications, they were divided into teams and measured the light pollution in different places inside the school.  At the end of this activity, they had to present the places mostly affected by light pollution and to find together solutions to limit it.

In the afternoon, the students spent time with their colleagues from the partner schools. We think that they have enjoyed the first day at our school and in our town J.
