Language passport

 Challenge, 25 Sep 2025 - 26 Sep 2025, Porto, Portugal

The activity will follow a peddy-paper style, meaning that ideally, students from the participating classes will be organized into small groups. Each group will be assigned to a station or table, where they will face four tasks or challenges related to European languages. These challenges will be prepared by each language department: English, French, Spanish and of course, Portuguese! Before the activity begins, every group will receive a blank passport. For example, students who visit the English Station must successfully complete the challenges( cultural questions, tongue twisters, idioms and spelling) prepared by that station in order to receive four stickers for their passport. The team responsible for the English Station will monitor the students' performance and, if the challenges are completed correctly, will award the stickers. This procedure will be repeated in the same way at each station.
