After a workshop in the morning to prepare the conference, Slovak, Turkish, and French students joined in Poprad theatre to present their country as well as the result of these two years of collaboration. The parents were invited and so was Poprad TV.


First of all, Lívia gave us some information about the origins of this project.


The Slovak presentation could begin, just after that Jerguš explained to the public, the development of the conference: three students, one Slovak, Jerguš, one Turkish, Baver and one French, Adélie, are in a hot air balloon and go to explore of the three countries: Slovakia, Turkey and France.


To begin, Anna introduced Slovakia.


After this introduction about Slovakia, the public could admire a Slovak traditional dance.




The Slovak show continued with Klaudia who talked about the Manor-House of Betliar and its legend.

Then, it was Barbora's turn to give information about Gombasek cave.

 


To finish their performance, Slovak students sang accompanied by three guitar players who were: Martina, Lívia and Jerguš.



After this first part of the Conference, the trip continued and our three travelers arrived in Turkey and so, it was the Turkish students' turn with Çiçek and Mert to introduce their country.




Then, Mert gave the public some information about the journey to Turkey 2010. After the video, the four Turkish students Çiçek, Rozerin, Mert and Baver performed an original play to relate a Turkish legend entitled Zembilfroş (the basket seller).

After this stop in Turkey, our three travelers continued their trip, they wanted to arrive to Provence but there was a slight problem, they arrived in Paris where Raphaëlle introduced France.


Then, Adélie, Elodie, Estelle, Raphaëlle and Thibault performed a hectic version of the legend of St Martha during which Marie and Mia had to hold the sheet. Raphaëlle was perfect at pretending to put an end to this "organized" mess... The "real" French performance could begin.

And after this presentation about, Evenos, Adélie, Julie, Marie, Mia, Thibault, Julien and Arnaud performed the legend of St Martin who banished the Devil who was in Evenos.









After this little play, Thibault introduced Tarascon and its beautiful medieval castle.
